The total cost, if this were to take effect in 2009—I think we're a little late for 2008-09—is estimated to be about $410 million. The cost will rise about $15 million each year. The changes in the OAS will be $40 million of that; GIS, $310 million; and the changes in spousal allowance, $60 million.
I should also note that the actual cost to government will be lower because some of this will be taxed back. Many seniors have other investments and do pay taxes, and the additional income will be taxed back.
I have a chart here for 2009 to 2012, which I can distribute to the members' offices. The numbers I have were prepared by the Library of Parliament using Statistics Canada's social policy stimulation database. These estimates may be a little on the low side; however, I think they're pretty close. You can only really guesstimate from Statistics Canada.
