That is a very noble intent to ease the burden of the cost of living in the North for seniors over 60. If that is the intent of the government, why would you take a small portion of seniors in a market community and give them everything and give the vast majority of seniors living in their own homes, struggling with the high cost of living, nothing? How would the Minister say or rationalize how that policy that has been left in place...It is good to say it is being reviewed, but it has been left in place and the number of seniors is growing. Why, if that was the intent and real purpose of this government, would they not make that an equitable distribution of resources on the part of this government? Thank you.
