Okay. Thank you for that.
I'll move on, because I only have three minutes.
Ms. Montani and Ms. Sinclair, you were very eloquent on the issue of child poverty.
We've seen over the last 20 years figures even more shocking than those you've cited, Ms. Montani. Most families have actually seen a reduction in real income, ranging from 5% to 15%. So most Canadian families--about two-thirds of Canadian families--are earning less now than they were 20 years ago; appalling but true.
You're suggesting that for an investment of $5 billion per year we could achieve a reduction of nearly 40% in the after-tax child poverty rate?
