Thank you, Chair.
Welcome to all.
I'm going to direct a question to Ms. George, and it's following a statement made by Mr. Ambachtsheer, as well as a previous witness we had before the committee on behalf of CARP, Susan Eng. She suggested at that time—and following up on Mr. Ambachtsheer's comments—that we have a number of people who do not have the availability, whether it's a one-third/one-third mix, etc., including seniors, particularly on low income. Ms. Eng, at that particular time, contrary to Mr. Ambachtsheer's suggestion, suggested that, very simply, we just need to double up. We need to be able to have an increase of approximately 20% across the board, and that would really solve the issue, from her perspective.
Obviously I respect Mr. Ambachtsheer's comments, but, Ms. George, dealing directly with the people you represent, if you had a 20% increase across the board, of course, to the employer, per se—whether it's industry, small business, SMEs, whatever—that would mean an increase to them in excess of 10%. In the highly competitive world right now, and particularly due to the economic climate, could you give me an indication of how that would affect the people you represent?
