And at the end...I want to make sure we're asking the government to undertake the study. It's not just to look at the study to reduce poverty, but that the government uses the study to reduce poverty.

Mr. Chair, seeing that we don't have a French translation anyway--

Yes, so here's what we'll do. We'll have the clerk clean this up and we will submit it again on Thursday. We'll have time to talk about it then because we'll be going clause by clause.
Is that okay?

I have a suggestion, Mr. Chair.
When the clerk proceeds to draw up the motion as submitted, I would insert the two amendments that we proposed after “Canada”. The motion in French would therefore read: “[...] élabore dès maintenant un plan d'élimination de la pauvreté au Canada devant tenir compte [...] instead of “compte tenu”. According to Mr. Kormanicki's wording, it was important to take into consideration the report that we would be producing. However, in French “compte tenu” means something quite different.
So then, immediately after “Canada”, it would make more sense to insert “devant tenir compte des recommendations du comité et aussi des juridictions des provinces”.

Yes, it will be circulated as soon as it is translated.
Thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.
