On how it works concretely, I'll link back to what MP Zimmer said about necessities. The first thing you do is track the typical Canadian things that are necessities of life. That's going to be your base. There has been some research done for Ontario already, which ended up with winter coats and needing dentist treatments, and so we have some idea of what would be typical outcomes.
The next step is that we collect not just one of those outcomes, but a series of them, maybe about 10 to 15 indicators maximum. That's typically 20 survey questions. You ask people if they have a winter coat and if they are able to afford it. It's the affordability that we care about.
We then put that information together in what we call an index. Then we do the same with the lens and the LICOs. Where do you set the threshold? Is it when someone can't afford that winter coat, or do they need to be having multiple issues? Typically, we say multiple issues, and that gives us a certain percentage of the population.
