Mr. Speaker, as many of my colleagues have mentioned that aging in place is something that everyone in our communities would like to see. You know, our elders do not want to leave the communities they lived in all their lives, but yet we have some elders that are being asked to contribute up to 25 per cent of the actual costs of renovations to their home, for example. So will the Minister look at ways to either eliminate this or put it to five per cent? You know it's very difficult for elders to save money with the high cost of living that we have in our small communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
