I certainly don't disagree with you. Giving people adequate levels of income to provide adequate housing, warmth, and food and so on is important. That is something we need to do. But there are some people who still need other support. Even if they have the housing, the heat, and food, they still need other supports to be able to participate fully in society and not end up falling back into poverty. There are cases like that that we need to address as well.
In terms of how it happens, as I tried to say a bit earlier, I don't think there's going to be one way to do this. One of the problems we found--and this is not a fault of the federal government, it's just the way our system has worked in the past--is that having a solution, a program, or something that has to be done the same way across the country is not necessarily what benefits each individual province.
The point I'm trying to make in response to your question is that I hope the federal government would allow itself the flexibility of dealing individually with each province on their poverty reduction initiatives and identifying very unique circumstances and priorities. I hope the federal government would be able to find a way to work with us to be able to do that. Once we have that flexibility, I think we'll find the mechanisms to be able to work for each of the provinces. But coming out with one solution and saying here's how it has to work may not be beneficial for the provinces and the people we're trying to help.
