Aside from mothers (some about to give birth) with their young children, many of them are men between 25-45 years old (BTW a reason why the government wants to speed-up the release of working licenses, in order for these young men to work ASAP and contribute to society). Some of these single men told journalists that they agreed to rent together an apartment and share it in order to reduce the cost of living. The objective is to save some money from their welfare checks and send it to their families in Haiti. The problem here might be that these welfare checks, paid by Canadian taxpayers, will not be used for their own personal needs but instead will be forwarded out of the country for other purposes.
