Thank you.

Turning my attention now to page 14 of the Stats Canada deck on government programs and the reduction of poverty, I'm curious. This illustrates the per cent reduction in low income due to transfers. Why was taxation not simultaneously added to the bar graph to indicate the effect that it has on income?
