Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for their participation and presentations.
My questions are for the Option consommateurs representatives, Mr. De Bellefeuille and Ms. Plourde.
Thank you for all the work Option consommateurs does for people in Quebec. You're really making a difference.
I briefly want to go back over the points you raised.
In inflationary times, we try to make the economy more resilient, but that's a lengthy process. To support the most vulnerable people in the short term, you suggest that we target the most disadvantaged with measures such as a permanent GST/HST credit rather than send checks or grant tax credits to more than 90% of the population.
Would you please tell us a little about that program? How does what you're proposing differ from the current situation? In concrete terms, how many people would be affected by what you're proposing?
Thank you.
