Right, they're poor. Basically the most direct way would be to alter the OAS regulation so as not to have this residency requirement. A change like that is going to depend on the cost for the government to implement it. We need tools to calculate this cost and to integrate the data. Also, through those tools, we could understand the benefit of bringing in immigrants to the long-term Canadian economy.
As I was asked before and was just getting to, what Canada actually needs more than anything, if we want to have a national seniors' program, are tools that are computer models that experts across Canada can use to test these ideas, get real numbers, and have authoritative answers to the questions.
We had this model. It was developed for 25 years. It was used to test the CPP enhancement. It was used to test the OAS enhancement. I'm now using it to test the CPP enhancement because the government discontinued the funding. As an analyst and somebody who's using the government model, which the government should actually be using, I'm getting calls from provinces, from private industry, from academics, from everybody, asking me to run these analyses because the government is no longer running the analyses within the government.
If you want to do a national strategy and get real answer to real questions, you need the tool that's going to bring the data together.
