    That’s nice but I challenge this minister and all ministers to help repair the homes of their elderly constituents. Food, safe shelter and clothing are necessities so let’s do all three for our elderly. And to those of you talking bout teach a man to fish…these same elderly taught you to fish so now they can’t it’s time for you and I…all of us… to make sure they are taken care of.

    I don’t understand since when helping the less fortunate, the sick, or the elderly has become a photo up opportunity by the general public and more so by elected officials.
