Yes, this is a good focus for legislators in terms of looking at that. The member asked an important question, to see whether these thresholds that are in the proposed legislation are automatically indexed to inflation every year. My experience with the existing working income tax benefit, the WITB, is that every year those thresholds are indeed indexed and the amount is indeed indexed. It increases every year so that people keep up with costs and inflation. In my view, it is important that the new Canada workers benefit does the same thing, that it maintains its purchasing power by automatically being indexed for inflation. That would allow us to keep the $24,000 upper limit of today at least constant for the workers in the future.
