I think it's appropriate that we're in the NDP caucus room for this study.
The other thing you raised was my bill in the House, Bill C-476, which has just been changed. We had the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River table Bill C-501, or essentially the same bill, to address the Nortel situation. It should come up this session, because of the order of precedence, and we'll be quite happy with that.
My Liberal colleague talked about safe havens and portfolios, but I still want to come back for a moment to those people who are living on OAS and GIS only. There are people in this country living on $1,162 a month. There are about 260,000, according to Stats Canada, who live below the poverty line. So as this committee moves forward and talks about disposable income and other things, let's always keep in mind that something has to be done on that front as well.
The doubling of CPP we talked about was based on 50% of income, not the total. There's still plenty of room for what you're talking about. We'd be thrilled to death if there was an incentive of some sort to help people start their own pension plans on top of that solid foundation.
How much time do I have, Mr. Chair? A couple of minutes?
