Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, thanks for the spirit of collaboration from all members of the committee.
PV-8 seeks to address the concern we heard with respect to looking at an individual's income as opposed to a household's. The text adds, after line 39 on page 5:
“(1.1) The eligibility criteria, conditions and amounts provided for in regulations made under paragraphs (1)(a) to (c) must be determined on the basis of the net income of the person to whom an application for a benefit relates, not to the income of the person’s household.”
We heard from many witnesses who gave testimony here and who gave written briefs with respect to ensuring that the benefit looks at the individual and not a family.
