Thank you Mr. Chairman.
I would also like to thank the witness and congratulate her for her presentation this morning. I had a series of questions that have already been answered, in fact, quite eloquently, so I have had to rethink my line of questioning.
I have a question that each one of you may wish to answer. I find it rather astonishing that with all of the research, all of the work that has been done on poverty, there is still no specific definition of the poverty threshold, even though I acknowledge the variables that you have so clearly demonstrated. Will this problem always exist or would it not be possible, in view of current knowledge, to clearly define a threshold? It would certainly go a long way in helping us find the appropriate solutions to the problem. Do you have an answer?
