I would agree with the previous speaker. I think a national approach is preferable.
This is a problem because of the difficulties we've had in the past keeping our commitments. Canadians are watching, and I think other people in the world are watching. We need to take this to the national level, ideally with the cooperation of the provinces. And I would urge you not to forget another group--it's not a single group--which is the private sector and helping organizations. There are a variety of groups and an increasing number of people who could be instrumental in this process.
The other thing I picked up on from one of the speakers is the importance of one-on-one. I've urged that for a long time. The character of poverty has changed over the years, and I think part of any plan should include that kind of personal attention to individuals.
Those are my comments.
