Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for coming to the committee.
Regarding families and children, our government announced the creation of child benefits. The child benefit was given to Canadians in need of it, putting money into the pockets of Canadians tax free. Ninety per cent of Canadians are getting the benefit, and Minister, you were in my riding in Brampton last year, and you saw the people. They were excited. All over Canada people are excited regarding the Canada child benefit.
Last October, Finance Minister Morneau announced that child benefits will be indexed. That means when the cost of living goes higher, the Canada child benefit will be increased. I would like you to explain whether that plan is still in existence, and if so, the effect of indexing on middle-class people.
