Mr. Chair, as I was mentioning, it's important to recognize for any progressive benefits that our government has put forward, whether it is old age security, the guaranteed income supplement or the Canada child benefit, that all these benefits are meant to be enhanced. We certainly recognize there's more to do, but we won't do that unless we know the provinces and territories won't claw back any of the benefits that we put forward. I think that is really very important. This is an income supplement, not an income replacement, and we're absolutely committed to doing that work.
