GIS clawback, OAS fully indexed to wages rather than prices.... That's not cheap, and it's not targeted much. It goes to the middle income group.

If I had one thing, it would be the GIS clawback. Instead of being $3,500 of wages only—it's not employment, only wages; self-employment is not exempt—it would be all income, because $3,500 of income regardless of source would have some huge benefits, on the RRSP side as well, because then you wouldn't be clawing back RRSP withdrawals.
