Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I want to thank the witnesses for coming today and for being present elsewhere.

My recollection of the LICO...and Professor Finnie, you talked about it being a percentage, that if a family spends a certain percentage on necessities, then under the LICO.... They were trying to define what the LICO was and setting it at certain levels in terms of dollar amounts. Was it 56%? Do you recall? I've forgotten the number--60%, 62%?
