You can stay in the seat, Mr. Courtice.
One thing I struggle with personally is that our federal government has genuinely really worked to reduce income inequality and to really adjust all of our supports on the lower end of the income scale. We've triple increased the Canada workers benefit. We've introduced the Canada child benefit. We've introduced national child care. We've increased OAS by 10%. I could go on with the list. We've actually done a significant amount of money to really support.
The only way I can see that all of.... So much of that has been eliminated through a massive increase in housing—and we are not controlling that—mental health supports and the lack of, and the ongoing inflation. Food costs are going up higher then...because all of these are indexed to inflation. They're all indexed to inflation, so you would ideologically believe that it should keep up.
Perhaps you could help us to maybe figure out whether it's really a bit of inflation or a bit of each of those. Maybe you can help us understand. Why is the struggle so much harder and our support programs not being as effective as they need to be?
