My spontaneous answer would be that poverty affects everyone. It is very difficult to priorize one group of poor people over another. I think we need to look after families, seniors and everyone, in fact. I also am thinking about people in remote areas. I talked about our proposals dealing with the right to food. I would like to give you a specific example that is one of our recommendations. It has to do with the price of food. Imagine people living in poverty who see the price of food tripling in an Aboriginal or northern community in Quebec where they live, or wherever else it might be. It is really a worry for them and decreases their purchasing power. That is the kind of recommendation we are making. We talk about a basic basket that would allow people to buy food that is nutritious. There is also another concern, which relates to the first week of the month. Why not force certain markets to offer special prices when people receive their welfare cheque? Those are concrete proposals, and we suggest they be acted on in order to fight poverty. Let us stop saying that there are some poor who are poorer than others, because when you are poor, you are already excluded, even if you are living in a rich community. A poor person in Westmount seems even poorer than someone in another region.
I do not have much use for these kinds of distinctions. And that is precisely the principle that we support à the Regroupement des cuisines collectives. We also talk about the need to priorize young people. Young people are part of a family. They have parents who are also poor. Any measures have to be comprehensive.
