The continued advocacy for child poverty is important because that's our future. You can fix the problem at some end, but if you don't fix the problem at the beginning, which is the self-esteem and preparedness of students to come and learn and not be worried that they don't have any sleep or don't know what they're going to be eating today, then they're not going to be prepared. That's a never-ending story that has to be dealt with.
There are two aspects we have to look at. Our organization, OTF, through its affiliates and its national organization, CTF, will continually bring that forward both at the provincial level and at the national level. There's the idea of providing some sort of assistance in terms of a transition into school and providing some organization where there's food in the morning. Breakfast organizations are being developed in some of the school boards. That's something that should be promoted, because for the most part, that is critical to our future.
Other aspects have to be dealt with too, and I think Barbara could add how her organization is involved.
