If I can just respond to that, the point of the WITB, the working income tax benefit, is to reduce the effective tax rate that people face as their incomes increase and the benefits they receive decrease so that there is an incentive to continue to work and earn more and stay attached to the workforce.
Now, I admit that these programs are always imperfect. There will always be examples of people who don't benefit as much as they can. But I don't think that's an argument about principle. It may be an argument about tinkering with how it's done. Officials always review these things to make sure they're done correctly.
I take your point. I think we can debate whether it actually achieves that goal, but it will certainly help thousands and thousands of people.
