Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to an excellent roster of witnesses. I had a chance to work with your departments in the past, and I have always been very impressed with the quality of leadership we have in our public service.

I'd like to start with a follow-up question to my colleague's earlier query. He asked Statistics Canada if it had done any study on the impact of a $50 per tonne carbon tax on the poverty rate. Statistics Canada indicated that it had not done such a study. Has Employment and Social Development Canada done such a study?
