Mr. Chair, again, I applaud Mr. Dusseault's focus on the poverty reduction act, which is transforming lives across Canada and will do so for many years, lifting kids and families out of poverty.
I will not be supporting the amendment. I will try to rebut this in French, to practise.
Canada's long-term target, which is described in its poverty reduction strategy entitled “An Opportunity for All”, which is to reduce poverty by 50% by 2030, reflects the government's commitment to the first sustainable development objective: “By 2030, reduce by at least half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.”
