The greatest privilege I've had in the last few months has been to engage with these types of individuals and groups, of which we are so fortunate to have so many in Canada. The municipalities, communities, non-profit organizations, and the private sector are all there to support whatever energy and vision this government is able to signal when it comes to inclusive social development. This is the great privilege that I have had over the past few months. I know that all of us in this room also see this regularly, how ready and able our communities are to support the type of work we're going to be doing around this table in the next few weeks. We both have to do it and to have the right actions and the right attitudes when it comes to poverty reduction.
We also know that although our poverty reduction strategy at the federal level will be the first one ever, there are other poverty reduction strategies elsewhere in Canada at the provincial, territorial, and municipal levels. We want to be respectful of both the content and the outcome of those strategies so that we don't repeat anything. We draw from what already exists and we build, in a very consistent and respectful manner, on that existing work, and demonstrate, as you said, the great level of energy, expertise, and experience that we feel everywhere in Canada on that topic.
