Thank you, sir.
Mr. Battle, in the mid-1990s, under former finance minister Paul Martin, we got rid of what was called inflation creep.
I do recognize your concern with the CCB. I also think the CCB is a very powerful instrument in eliminating child poverty. Three hundred thousand children will be taken out of poverty by 2016-17 versus the number in the last fiscal year, so I do recognize your comments on inflation creep.
When Mr. Martin brought it in through his budget in, I think, 1996 or 1995, it was one of the largest tax cuts for Canadians ever with the introduction of “inflation bracketing”, if you want to call it that, and so I do recognize that.
To your mind, is there anything else we could do quickly to pull even more children out of poverty?
