I think what's coming out of this and what we're seeing is that, again, I believe wholeheartedly that transformational change nationally comes from federal programs. The Canada child benefit is something that's a transformational initiative. The OAS/GIS is not the be-all and end-all, but it is very close to a living wage; it's inadequate, but nearly a living wage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4774862\" data-originallang=\"en\">Can you comment on who we're missing and how\u2014I think we know who they are, single people\u2014and what you think we should do to try to help them?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4774861\" data-originallang=\"en\">C\u2019est \u00e0 mon tour de me lancer. Je crois que ce qui en ressort est que, une fois encore, les changements porteurs de transformation \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale proviennent de programmes f\u00e9d\u00e9raux. La prestation fiscale pour enfants du Canada est un exemple d\u2019initiative porteuse de transformation. La SRG/SG n\u2019est pas tout \u00e0 fait l'\u00ab alpha et l\u2019om\u00e9ga \u00bb, mais elle se rapproche beaucoup du salaire de subsistance; elle reste inad\u00e9quate permettant \u00e0 peine de subsister.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4774862\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourriez-vous faire des commentaires sur ceux qui manquent au tableau \u2014 je crois savoir qui ils sont, les c\u00e9libataires \u2014 et ce que vous croyez que nous devrions faire pour les aider?</p>"
