It’s interesting that the member from Essex comes at this position as a lawyer. Let me be clear: The lawyers in Ontario are doing very well these days. I mean, you’re in so many court cases as a government for violation of human rights, including housing rights, that the lawyers are doing okay.

But I do want to just touch on some of the issues that the member from Newmarket–Aurora had referenced. I want to ask her a question around air conditioning, because when the minister was in the media studio, he was asked by one of the reporters, “You know, people can’t stay in their rental housing situation. They can’t afford the rent. How are they going to afford paying for the hydro of an air conditioner?”

If the member could please address that other financial burden of the cost of high hydro as it relates to air conditioning, I would be really appreciative.
