Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will do as I promised. Since my amendments do not have the support of the majority at this table, I will continue my efforts to strengthen the law and follow the recommendations of the witnesses.
This amendment is based on the recommendation of the Collectif pour un Québec sans pauvreté, which proposed that the official poverty line be changed.
There is already a discussion around the table and I can already hear my colleagues' arguments. So let me explain. The collective recommended the low-income metric, and that 60% of the median be used as the official poverty line—the so-called "LIM-60". The collective believes that this metric would better represent what poverty is than the market basket.
The objective here is therefore to change the measurement mechanism, and therefore the calculation of the poverty line.
