We do now have one of the lowest levels of low income among seniors in all family types in the OECD. I have a chart here that compares Canada, Australia, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, U.K., and U.S. On this chart, the only country that has a lower rate of low income among seniors is the Netherlands. So we're substantially lower. The most recent data was in 2000, but the trend has been similar since then. The U.S. is at 28%, the U.K. 17%, Germany 10%, Australia 23%, and Canada 5%. So internationally there's no question, because our system is fairly targeted towards those lower-income individuals.
