I don't have specific estimates of the cost. Obviously, it would depend on how much you want to spend. It's very sensitive to how much you want to spend. I think you have to focus also, more importantly, on the benefits of reducing poverty, not just the short-term benefits but the long-term benefits. Take the aboriginal community. If we can reduce poverty there, there will be fewer health problems, there will be less crime, and there will also be additional revenues for the government through additional tax revenues. I think you have to look at it from both the cost and the benefit perspective.
Most studies show that, for example, investing in education, over the long term, results in significant benefits, long-term benefits that greatly exceed the cost.
