In terms of our approach to income supports, the provincial governments provide the basic support with social assistance, and we support that with their federal transfers for social supports in that regard. But what we're trying to do is create a basket of income supports. Effectively, if you look at them together as a system, you could call it a form of basic income. The challenge is that each program has a separate design strategy. That's what creates the gaps that prevent us from calling it basic income.
