Does your parents' suite have its own address? If not, then it's technically illegal and off the books.

The petition is talking about legal, self-contained rental accommodation, such as an apartment.

Re the petition: Asking lawyers to reveal the source of funds from their clients would never fly. Considering the rage on social media, you would think that it would have received more than 700+ signatures. IMHO, for this to get anywhere, you would need something in the 10K range. This would be a sizable constituency to make a difference in the election of an MP, for example.
