We can now automatically recognize those who are eligible for the Guaranteed Income Supplement because of their low income. They can receive it without even having to apply for it. In fact, over 40,000 Quebeckers do not receive this supplement even though they are entitled to it, because they have not been informed about it.
Regarding mail delivery, perhaps a link could be made between age and financial situation. Perhaps we could ask for a supplement from someone who still lives in their house with a value of $400,000. This is a societal debate. In this case, we would have to find a way of distinguishing among persons, which would be a type of positive discrimination.
Be that as it may, it is clear to me that people for whom door-to-door mail delivery is necessary should not have to pay fees to receive that service. However, people for whom this service is a luxury they want to afford could be considered as user-payers.
However, how to establish a policy that would allow us to clearly distinguish between the two groups is another story.
