Thank you to my colleague for sharing her time.
I wanted to pick up on the submissions from Daily Bread and Right to Food.
Thank you for the very thoughtful recommendations, which I find actually quite complementary and mutually reinforcing. The focus on the link between food insecurity and poverty bears repeating. I think it's something we all understand needs to be part of how we think about food insecurity.
You talk about both the disability tax credit and the Canada groceries and essentials benefit as things on which we could build, as a government, but I wanted to come back.... I'm curious to know, actually, about the relative merits of each, so if there was more time or maybe in further written submissions you could help us to better understand.
On the proposed refundable income tax credit for low-income renters, what's interesting to me about that is that it's less population-focused and would potentially impact a larger number of people. Could you talk to us a bit about why you chose low-income renters as your proposed population and how that interfaces with the food-insecure population?
