It's not really a payroll tax.
We're not economists. We're not here to tell you to cut this budget and move it over there—that kind of thing.
One example, and one thing that I think the committee should think of, is that there is a lot of research on the connection between poverty and health. Senior women living alone in poverty use the health care system, which is already overburdened, much more than people who are not poor.
I'm not making that up. There is information and research, and if you want me to send you some, I will.
If we raise the GIS, because we want to give those people—and it's not just women, but the bulk are—living only on OAS and GIS more money to improve their health, to make them less poor, hopefully they will be less dependent on the health care system. That's one approach to take.
