Thank you, Madam Chair.
First, I want to say that what most of you, in particular the Caledon Institute, have said are things that the Liberal women's caucus had in the pink books--a lot of the same major pieces in terms of child care, education, $5,000 for the child benefit, affordable housing, and so on. From my perspective, obviously, it affects women's income very much.
I want to focus on a couple of areas, if I may. Mr. Battle, Ms. Torjman, you both mentioned two things. In the child benefit as currently structured, the $1,200 is not taxable. My understanding is that the government is receiving about $300 million of income tax on that, so that's not really worth the full $1,200. My suspicion is that the $300 million is coming from lower income, because it's taxed in the hands of the lower-income family. So that's a negative.
Just to be clear, you're suggesting that we would take the $1,200, which I agree with you on, add it to the child benefit, and take the child tax credits—both the non-refundable and the other—and add it to the child benefit, beefing that up to at least $5,000. Am I right?
Very quickly, please. I have a couple of other questions.
