Thank you, Madam Chair. I have so many questions, I'm not quite sure where to start, but I'll get started and then hopefully come back to some of my other ones.
I have two kinds of questions, one that has to do with younger women, because, for me, income security starts younger. Obviously the reason we have poor seniors is because of what happened earlier--otherwise it might not have happened--and it's why we have such a large number of unattached women, seniors, who are in poverty.
You mentioned earlier the $100. I asked this of the Status of Women earlier: have you done any analysis as to the impact of dropping the young child supplement for children under six and increasing the actual taxation from 15% to 15.5% at that level, and then of course taxing the $100, because the families who are the poorest are the ones who actually end up paying more taxes on that because they're working?
Then of course there's no child care yet, because the child care agreement was cancelled.
So my question is, has there been any analysis done as to the impact of these measures on women, especially women at a certain income level?
