Okay, so it's significant.
I find it interesting that the Conservatives are standing up every day in the House of Commons and speaking to what they call “deficit spending”, yet here they are at committee, proposing to increase that dramatically. It's pretty interesting to see that that's their proposal here.
Let me take this a bit further. I remember when the minister came to our committee. We identified an issue related to the specific tax break to 14% that we've proposed in this bill. The minister mentioned the fact that we were aware that individuals receiving a disability tax credit, for example, might be worse off in some cases, because it would reduce their taxable income amount. He said they were working on a solution for that.
Is this proposed amendment going to exacerbate things for a number of individuals who may be more vulnerable or at the lower end of the income and tax brackets? Would they be worse off in some circumstances?
