Madame Rothman, if I can put it this way, you're an expert on poverty in Canada, particularly, I imagine, in your own milieu.
We heard from the previous group that the rate of response among the lowest-earning Canadians was low and that accordingly, there was a risk of not being able to draw a sufficiently accurate picture of persons who fall into this group.
We have a quote that said that the government based its decision on the fact that there were already a number of documents that existed, such as income tax returns, passports, drivers licences, social insurance numbers, and birth certificates, and that these documents were sufficient, and when we add the new form they will want to get statistics from, these would be enough documents to give us a really good portrait of what is going on in Canada. From your standpoint concerning poverty, do you feel that this is right?
