I think it's around two million, but I just wanted to clarify that.

The other question is on the other end of the spectrum. Seniors are vital. They built our country. In our great Okanagan Valley, we had the highest percentage of seniors per population in the last census, in 2006. So the GIS exemption from $500 to $3,500 and the pension splitting was welcome news.

I just want to know how the investments in the OAS and GIS in the coming year compare to previous years.
