As a first step, I would encourage you to come to consensus on the fact that we need a poverty reduction strategy. That's the first step, in those places that have introduced them. The next step is you decide on your indicators. That's what the European Union has done with their anti-poverty and social exclusion strategies. That's what Quebec has done with its law to eradicate poverty. First is consensus on a commitment for a plan to reduce it, and then the next step is to choose what indicator or indicators you're going to have.
