Again, Mr. Speaker, on the harmonization plan. It seems that some of these thresholds have also changed. We are now counting new forms of income that weren't assessed before. They're being assessed now and that has given rise to some of the issues that my colleagues have raised over the last few days where, because of the harmonization program, people are finding they're not being assessed differently and are having to pay unexpected increases in their rent. Mr. Speaker, is the harmonization program just a way of offloading onto the low income families costs that this government would normally otherwise bear? Thank you.
