That burden has tended to fall on the municipalities, because in many cases municipalities have picked up the cost of social housing. Many municipalities, such as the City of Toronto, have designated housing for older people. There, they have the support services, the infrastructure, to help these people: to get them into the housing they need and bring the services they need.
The burden has fallen on the level of government that has the least flexibility in income. But they have picked it up right across the country.
So it is an issue. They're not left. If the municipality discovers it—and people do report, and these people are brought into service support—it is a cost in large measure faced by the lower-tier level of government, not at the federal level, not at the provincial level.
