Good morning.

I would like to thank you for your presence here this morning, for the amazing, fantastic presentations, and for the work that you do in this area.

My first set of questions targets the effective measurement. That's what I would like to focus on.

Mrs. Notten, you spoke about, and I think it's amazing, the material deprivation indicators as important indicators.

My first question is very simple. Do those indicators define poverty in the same way that Mr. Cook did, where we're taking on economic, social, and spiritual? Does it involve all three?
