I'm speaking about it as an income issue. When they turn 65, they no longer receive their AISH benefit. They get old age security, which means, based on our current housing qualifications, that they have more expendable income.

I'll give you an example. They were paying $120 a month while they were receiving the AISH benefit, but at the age of 65 they're paying $400. There is a flaw in that system.
