I guess we can go back and forth on this one, because I've read some of the studies done by the Caledon Institute and others that actually show the opposite.
If we're going to have a benefit, it should benefit all, especially low-income Canadians, but it doesn't. The $1,200 does not benefit 100%.
Can I move on to something else for a second? I'd like to deal with seniors.
One of the recommendations that the National Advisory Council on Aging made with respect to seniors was that the federal government allow seniors to earn an income of 10% of the benefit received through the old age security program before reducing the guaranteed income supplement and the allowance. Do you know if there is any discussion of that in the system at this time?
