Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank my colleague for raising this point.
As with the previous amendment, the Canadian Poverty Reduction Strategy has already addressed this issue, so the amendment is not necessary.
We have established an official measure of poverty, the official poverty line in Canada, and the report establishes an indicator dashboard that will be available on Statistics Canada's website to track progress on many aspects of this strategy. The data will be distributed according to geographical and socio-demographic characteristics, including ethnic origin, as raised by my colleague.
More specifically, this will allow everyone to have data before aggregation, if available, in order to have a better understanding of poverty among different groups.
