This is a laborious process.
We need to make an effort to reach a consensus, Mr. Chair! I think we need a consensus in the case of a motion like this one. We are prepared to consider the approach advocated by Mr. Lobb and Mr. Komarnicki—I don't know how the Liberals will feel about it—, but we would add a stipulation to the motion, so that it would read as follows:[...] be it resolved that the government of Canada develop a plan now to eliminate poverty in Canada for all, while respecting provincial jurisdiction, with interim targets [...]
I think it's appropriate to add this stipulation, Mr. Chair, since many of the measures must be taken by the provinces. When we make our recommendations to the committee...I think it's wise to defer to the committee's recommendations, as Mr. Komarnicki's pointed out. Another thing we need to consider is that recommendations can fall within two jurisdictions. I think we need to realize that. Then, we could consider supporting such a motion.
