Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses, the public servants, who are here with us today at this committee. Thank you not only for all of your work on the budget implementation act but also for your service in general to Canadians.
I'd like to start by asking a question around the grocery rebate. What is the benefit of delivering the grocery rebate through a system like the GST credit instead of creating a new program?
