Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Fraser. You were good enough to pass along birthday wishes at the outset of today's meeting, and I know that other colleagues did. There was a question as to how old I am. I'm not a day over 25, give or take; maybe give.
In any case, Mr. Julian didn't bring up basic income today, but he's brought it up, as I think you know, Mr. Fraser, at our deliberations once or twice, or 17 or 18 times, in the past few weeks. Why didn't the government go down this path? What were some impediments to our deciding to pursue a basic income?
