Thank you very much to all our witnesses. I'm sorry we don't have more time, because I think there's a lot we could glean from the insight of our witnesses, so I'm going to try to pack in as much as I can.
Ms. Yalnizyan, we've heard a little bit about different kinds of income support packages in the context of inflation and what effect they may or may not have in accelerating inflation. What we haven't talked a lot about are some of the provincial plans.
Here in Manitoba, a family with an income of $175,000 or less, which I don't think meets any definition of a low-income family, will be receiving between $200 and $250 per child. We saw in Saskatchewan that Premier Moe promised $500 per household. We've seen gas tax cuts in Ontario and Alberta.
We haven't heard a lot of criticism in Ottawa about those things, but we have heard a lot of criticism about the NDP's proposal for doubling the GST rebate, for the Canada housing benefit and for assisting with the cost of things like dental and child care.
I wonder if you could comment on those differences of approach and give your opinion as an economist in terms of which approach would be most likely to add to inflation, if indeed any of them would.
