Unfortunately, when I go out to seniors' organizations and meetings in the south I'm shocked at how poorly seniors in other parts of Canada are treated compared with those in the Yukon territory. We do not pay for our medication in the Yukon; we have a marvellous pharmacare program that looks after us healthwise.
But it's true. If you're making $1,300 a month or less and are living in subsidized housing and are told 25% of that goes to housing, what do you have left to feed yourself, clothe yourself, look after yourself? It's very sad.
