Basically, if you have a single parent who's earning $30,000 a year, and they have a relationship and they fall in love with somebody else who's also earning $30,000 a year, when they form a family, when they go from being a single parent with a net income of $30,000 to a two-parent family with a net income of $60,000, the loss of the Canada child tax benefit is actually close to $500 a month. It's quite a lot, and that's something that concerns me. I think if there's an opportunity to preserve the strength of the CCTB while addressing that. That would be something to think about.
