Mr. Speaker, it is a very legitimate question and one that is usually asked. There are several ways, especially in the area of public housing, where 20 per cent or 30 per cent is used as a ratio and is referred to as meeting the needs of individuals who are caught in that socioeconomic situation.
The increase in rent in the province of Ontario is an example. We know there is some control in that specific area. Are we talking about people who are in deep core need? Are we talking about people who are paying market rent? Are we talking about the present situation of the market as it is today? Are we talking about the needs of individuals to get into housing as a result of the size of their families?
When we ask a question about rent and speak about people in social housing there are a number of things it is important to take into consideration.
