There are two parts to the answer.
For the years I show in this calculation—where we calculate the low-income rate based on earnings first, and then we add taxes and transfers—I've selected business cycle peaks, because we wanted the long-term trend. We do have these numbers for recessions and expansions, so we can see how that's changing across a business cycle. So we can look at it that way.
Regarding what it includes, it does not include the kinds of programs you're talking about. We're talking here about mainly direct cash transfers and tax effects, so it includes things like the child tax benefit, EI benefits, social assistance, workers' compensation, those kinds of direct benefits. It does not include the more indirect benefits.
