Secondly, this deals with fiscal policy more than monetary policy, but StatsCan reported at the end of February on the poverty levels in Canada and how they have declined. They have declined considerably since we've come into government, in part owing to, I would say, the Canada child benefit, the impacts of which the Bank of Canada has measured in terms of households and household spending.
With a decline in poverty across Canada, over 800,000 Canadians have been lifted out of poverty. How powerful an instrument does the bank feel the Canada child benefit has been for Canadian household spending?
