Mr. Speaker, we all know that tackling this problem requires a plan, and we have a plan.
The best way to fight poverty is to get Canadians working. The economic action plan is doing just that by helping grow our economy and by creating 650,000 net new jobs since July 2009.
Every action we are taking is to help Canadians and their families become independent and help them to contribute to the economy and to their communities.
Whether it be the working income tax benefit or helping lower income families get over the welfare wall, we have a plan and we are implementing it.
