Thank you very much, Professor Noël, for coming here today and talking to us about what Quebec is doing on anti-poverty.
For a long time, Quebec has had a very progressive approach to social infrastructure, whether it's early learning and child care, keeping tuition fees at a moderate level, or other parts of our social infrastructure. What I want to learn from you, if I could, are any thoughts that you have specifically about what role the federal government should have.
I know, for example, that Quebec is one of the provinces that tailors the federal WITB program, the working income tax benefit, to Quebec needs. There are actually three provinces that the federal government allows flexibility to in order to tailor WITB to the needs of the province: Quebec, B.C., and, I think, Nunavut. So there are ways, as you mentioned, in which the federal government and a provincial government can in fact work together to alleviate poverty.
I'd like to know if you have very specific recommendations that you would make to the federal government on our anti-poverty strategy. What recommendations should we make to the government to include as components in producing that strategy?
