Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to all of you for being here.

I will begin with you, Mr. Shillington. You are a statistician who co-authored a paper for the Institute for Research on Public Policy in which you talked about the Canada Pension Plan. The Liberal government has changed the rules. They've expanded the GIS, and you mentioned that it would have negative impacts.

If there's something I'm really sensitive about, it's the most vulnerable elderly. Can you expand on the impact on those low-income seniors of the changes the Liberals have made to the Canada Pension Plan?
