Finance committee  It would benefit a lot more if it became a refundable tax benefit, instead of a deduction, because as Eileen says, a lot of our people don't have much education, and they hold the low-end jobs in every job market.

Finance committee  I will ask Eileen to answer that.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairperson. In the absence of time, I would like this brief to be given in its entirety. My name is Adamie Alaku. I am an Innu person from northern Quebec. We are referred to as Inuit. I am here with my colleagues Nancy Maloley, the treasurer of the Kativik Regional Government, which is also an ethnic body in northern Quebec; and Eileen Klinkig, who heads the construction division and who also started the income tax project in the region, as we don't know how to fill out income tax forms and the like.
