That's a really important point. I have done some travelling in the territories and visited with a number of folks living in poverty. Seeing first-hand the housing insecurity and the food insecurity in northern Canada, in the Northwest Territories, is shocking. It is shocking.
There is no question the poverty strategy needs to have a focus on indigenous communities, and specifically on the north. What's interesting about the poverty reduction legislation...and I will give the market basket measure some credit in this respect. The market basket measure does allow us to create a line of measurement across different regions of the country. That is with the caveat that we don't yet have a measurement for northern Canada. Statistics Canada is still in the process of developing the methodology for those numbers. In fact, when we saw the announcement from the government a couple of month ago that poverty has dropped so dramatically, we don't have a methodology for the market basket measure yet in northern Canada so it's not taking those groups into account.
One of the points I want to make here, to make very clear, is that this is why this human rights approach and this accountability with measurement tools are so critical. It's so that we can make sure that indigenous persons in the north are made a focus of the strategy moving forward and there's some independence in the way we measure our progress.
