We do a “HungerCount” report every year that looks at the level of food bank use in Canada and makes policy recommendations. Since about 2008, we called for rationalization of tax benefits for families. We called for tax benefits to be rolled up, and as I said, rationalized and more targeted to low-income families. We were glad to see that happen. We would have preferred that the Canada child benefit be indexed right away so it doesn't lose value over time, but we're on paper as recommending what recently happened with child benefits.
