Thank you.
My next question is for you, Mr. Jackson. You said that you represent 3.2 million members in the Canadian Labour Congress. So, you represent a big chunk of the Canadian population, and you also have similar recommendations which are in sync with the positions of the Bloc Québécois.
About the Guaranteed Income Supplement, we have been asking for several years that the maximum monthly benefit be increased by $110, as you mentioned in the documents of the Canadian Labour Congress. You have also calculated that the cost would be $1 billion. Two years ago, I tabled on behalf of the Bloc Québécois a bill that was finally passed in second reading. The only opponents were the members of the Conservative Party. The reason given by the government was that it would be too expensive. According to you, the cost would be $1 billion. This is indeed a big amount but I have many arguments to justify such an increase. Just think of all the tax havens managed by our Canadian banks, which would give us $2.4 billion of tax revenues. If that money was collected, we could immediately fund a guaranteed income supplement.
I want to let you explain how this money would be beneficial for the Canadian economy, in comparison to other investments such as buying the F-35 aircraft.
