Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to all the witnesses. Thank you for joining us here today. We do only have five minutes, so we have a short timeframe to ask questions in.
I was struck, when I read your book, Professor Wilkinson, by the impact, the vast impact, of inequality on people at all social levels, and the variety of outcomes.
To Professor Boadway, you discuss in your brief a rising trend of income inequality in Canada. Can you describe when you think this trend began, and what some of the main contributing factors are to rising inequality in Canada?
