Thank you very much for that.
Thank you very much, Minister, for being here. This is a very important study for us, as well as for the whole country.
In my riding of Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge and in communities across Canada, we are seeing not-for-profit and private organizations playing imperative roles when it comes to poverty reduction. These organizations have often filled the gap that governments of the past have been unable or unwilling to address.
I know you mentioned in your initial comments things you can do, but I'd like to know a little bit more about how you intend to work alongside some of these non-profit organizations to support the work of these organizations in the fight against poverty.
