I'm going to play devil's advocate here on the minimum necessary income because, again, we service low-income people. Many of them are immigrants, but not all. Still, they're certainly racialized. Basically, right now the minimum necessary income is the low-income cutoff plus 30%. It has to be shown with three consecutive years of CRA documents, so there can't be an off year. Then, because of various racial issues with accessing the employment market and because of racial inequities, a lot of people who are in our communities are stuck in poverty. If you completely bar family reunification, parent and grandparent reunification, they're never going to have the extended family structure that will be the sufficient condition to let them get out of poverty. Mothers are not going to be able to enter the workforce if their parents are not able to take care of the children since they can't afford child care.
What I want to be concerned about is how the economic analysis is nuanced. It's not black and white.
