Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
The last testimony has left me frustrated. I will have a question for Ms. Fortin and then another one for Mr. Zorn. I ask that the other witnesses remain silent. They can comment on those questions if any time remains.
Ms. Fortin, I really liked your presentation. I will get straight to the point.
There has been an increase in all kinds of regressive tax measures. Let's take employment insurance as an example. The Parliamentary Budget Officer—in his latest economic and fiscal outlook—said that the rate for every $100 of insurable earnings could go up to $2.03 in 2016.
Clearly, this is the type of measure that affects middle-class workers, low-income workers and small businesses. You are conducting studies specifically on women. Some measures, such as new tariffs and the abolition of the tax credit for labour-sponsored funds, seem to have a limited scope when considered separately. However, when combined, they can have a certain impact. What are the general impacts on those categories of workers and businesses, and especially women?
