I want to thank you all for coming today. Andrew's presentation was very informative.

I have an initial question for Statistics Canada. Has Statistics Canada considered the impact on the general population of a carbon tax in terms of poverty?

I'll lead into that a bit. We've estimated an impact of $1,000 to $2,500 per low-income family. I just want to know whether StatsCan has actually looked into that.
