Those are studies we have done within the Canadian Labour Congress, and I would be happy to share them with the committee.
These are studies that show that family incomes have decreased at the same time that income inequality has increased in this country and that social transfers have reduced the economic reality for the lowest sectors of the population while income has increased in the top 20% and higher.
I'm also aware that the Canadian economy has suffered, in structural terms, by not having developed a capital goods sector in the context of the free trade agreement and the fact that we are tending towards increasing resource exports and not manufacturing, which has weakened our economy significantly.
