Yes, but that's not the focus of the work, my own work. You will definitely know more than I do in terms of what needs to be done to reduce poverty across the board, particularly as it affects children. The reason it is included is that I work for a legal aid clinic. It is a major priority of our organization to represent low-income people and, in the broader public interest, to bring those points forward. It's also because in the literature--mostly in the United States but increasingly in Canada--it's very clear that children are at greater risk from lead exposure, from exposure to pesticides, the things you mentioned.
I'm sort of stuck responding to your question because it's not my area of expertise. It's just that I rely on colleagues who advance that and support that work. That's the best way to respond.
