Thank you, Chair.
Thank you so much for being here today. We've been waiting with anticipation to look at your report and hear what you have to say today. I look forward to hearing the answers to the questions.
This is such an important issue. As we've seen, there is much misinformation out there around the impact of the price of pollution that our government has implemented, with many trying to say that we have it wrong, that it's actually going to destroy our economy and kill jobs and bring an inordinate amount of devastation to the most vulnerable in our society. I'm happy to see in your report that you actually have confirmed what we have been saying all along: that most Canadians will be better off with a price on pollution. They will receive more in the rebate than they will pay out.
I'd like you to break down the numbers a little further. We hear it's not just those who are driving to work, but those who live in rural communities and the higher price of groceries and so on. Can you give us a sense of the different areas used in your analysis to make the determination that eight out of 10 Canadians will benefit more from the rebate than they will pay out in the price on pollution?
