Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, hello to all the witnesses. We have a really great panel this afternoon.
As my colleague Mr. Chambers said, even if we don't have enough time to ask each of you all the questions we would like to, that doesn't mean that the proposals you're making won't be included in our report on the pre-budget consultations.
Mr. Dodge, a special hello to you. I was teaching economics when you were Governor of the Bank of Canada, and it was a pleasure to unpack each of your speeches with students to better understand monetary policy.
That said, my questions will be for the representatives of Réseau FADOQ.
Ms. Tassé‑Goodman, thank you for your presentation.
Mr. Poirier‑Monette, your organization is asking that the guaranteed income supplement be increased by $50 a month. Ms. Tassé‑Goodman said that currently, a person receiving the guaranteed income supplement will earn less than $21,000 a year, which is below the poverty line.
Can you remind us of the importance of increasing the guaranteed income supplement by $50 a month?
