Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Cadieux, you referred in your presentation to a 15% increase in the Guaranteed Income Supplement and a doubling of Canada Pension Plan benefits. These are two separate measures. The Guaranteed Income Supplement is a social measure, whereas the Canada Pension Plan represents workers' accumulated savings.
You seem to know a lot about pensions. Based on your experience, could a doubling of Canada Pension Plan benefits—in other words, savings—result in less need or demand for the Guaranteed Income Supplement? Would it have an impact?
As you mentioned, income from GIS benefits is currently below the low income cutoff. For quite a few years now, the government has expressed its opposition to the idea of increasing it. By doubling workers' forced savings, would we solve part of the problem?
