I think, rather than mentioning all the specific ideas that people come up with for reducing poverty--and there are many--we would join those who are asking for a national strategy and provincial strategies for reducing poverty. Certainly, we hear all the time that we need more housing, and we need higher social assistance rates, which I realize is under provincial jurisdiction. There are supports for education, and we've heard about child care. Those are all things that money could be spent on to help alleviate poverty.
