#AgingParents in #Manitoba may lose the ability to apply for #FinancialAid from their children under provincial #legislation that's been on the books for almost a century — but which hasn't changed the amount of aid available in that time.
The rarely used #ParentsMaintenanceAct enacted in 1933, says that a child is liable to #ProvideSupport for a #dependent #parent who can no longer financially support themselves, if the child has the means to do so.
