Thank you for the question. Either I misspoke or you misheard. In fact, what I believe I said was that the benefit is a very significant change for Canadians. It is an enormous change in terms of the outcomes for Canadian families. Nine out of ten families with children will have an average of $2,300 more per year. That is a significant amount for families. Low-income families will be in a significantly better position.
When I was referring to the design of the program, what I was specifically referring to was that the tax situation is not going to be different, so the CCB will not be included in income, which is the same situation as the Canada child tax benefit, so it will not affect child support payments for divorced parents.
That is important. We want to be very clear so that people are not in any way confused, because it is quite important for them to understand that this is a positive thing for them and it will not in any way impact those child support payments. That is positive.
