In particular, the practical application of it is that we will have a combined application for both OAS and GIS, so that the effect of what I think Mr. Lessard is suggesting will happen at the application point. Beyond that, there are a large number of activities that the government follows on with to make sure that people know about the availability of GIS in addition to OAS and CPP.
For instance, with every T-4 slip we mail out to millions of Canadians every year, there's a newsletter that goes out to inform them. We've mailed out over 400,000 applications in the last few years pre-filled so that people can apply. With the statement of contributions for CPP that we send out to people in targeted age groups, such as age 60, age 65, and age 70, of which we've done over 600,000, we also remind them to apply.
So it will be in the combined application form, plus we've now done reminders to over 900,000 people to do it, plus there are outreach activities, plus any activity that's available in almost 500 service locations nationwide.
