Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. I'm going to share some of my time with MP Dzerowicz.

Monsieur Giroux, thank you for being here today.

I have a series of questions. I'm hoping they elicit brief answers, so we can get through all of them.

The first question I'd like to ask you is about the Canada workers benefit, which you spoke about recently. Would you agree that the Canada workers benefit payment amount begins to be reduced once people reach a net annual income level of $22,944? That equates to, I believe, about $11 per hour for somebody working 40 hours a week. Would you agree with that?
