I can appreciate that you don't have any data or facts on that.
It's safe to say that the committee's job is to suggest genuine solutions. As my colleague Mr. Long said, all of us hope that our report won't just wind up sitting on a shelf and that the results of our study will make a veritable difference in reducing poverty. Despite the fact that you don't have any concrete data, I think we can all agree that it's more costly than not if we don't take action to reduce poverty and we don't achieve real results. The proof is in the numbers: allowing Canadians to live in poverty is collectively more expensive than putting effective measures in place.
I see people agreeing with that.
My question is for Mr. LeBlanc. I'd like to better understand what you said about TFSAs being more beneficial to low-income individuals. I must confess I didn't quite understand everything you said about that point. I'd like you to elaborate, if you wouldn't mind.
