Thank you to all the witnesses for being here. We wish we had more time to ask you more questions.
I want to begin with Ms. McLachlan.
A question I asked yesterday to a group of witnesses mostly from the business sector was about the latest issue of The Economist, which is focused on the global increase of inequality. I wondered what your specific recommendations would do to decrease inequality in this country.
Secondly, more specifically, you talk about a federal plan for poverty elimination? Can you give us an example of a country that has effectively introduced a strategy for poverty elimination with targets and timetables that has been effective in reducing poverty?
