One thing we want to ensure as we put in the new enhancement to the Canada Pension Plan is that it will help Canadians across all spectra of earnings ranges. We want to ensure that people in the low-income range don't put more money into the Canada Pension Plan and not get the benefit afterwards because their income is too low. By putting in place an approach to increase the working income tax benefit, we ensure that lower-income Canadians are as well off as, or better off than, they would have been before this plan. We don't want to have an outcome that would in any way put them in a more difficult situation.
This new enhancement will be positive for those Canadians who are now at a low income and then earn more during the course of their lives. For those who stay in a low-income situation over the long term, the working income tax benefit will make sure they are not in any way disadvantaged by this change.
