I understand that. I think that's why we need a national poverty reduction strategy that integrates the provincial system so that we look at the entire social infrastructure of the country.
The budget itself refers to the improvements in the national child benefit supplement. It indicates that a family earning $20,000 doesn't get any benefit at all, whereas somebody with, say, $40,000 gets $436 extra. It seems to me that we need to be looking at measures that specifically assist those who are most in need. Everybody wants a little break these days; nobody is having an easy time. But surely we need to target our assistance to those who would most need it.
I thank you for the information you've given us about the poverty trends, some of which aren't as discouraging as people might think. What I want to know is what has caused those reductions. For example, do you have an analysis of how much difference the child tax benefit has made?
