So little time is left.

I'm going to focus on Ms. Laidley.

First of all, I want to recognize your work in the trenches. I think you're the kind of folks who we need here to help us understand in Canada what it is that we're trying to accomplish. I've got so much that I want to ask you, but Stats Canada, when we had them here, talked about measuring poverty using the LIM and the LICO. Are you familiar with those two? Okay.

My first question to you is, do you think that's sufficient for us, or does it really adequately measure poverty? Is there something else we should be looking at?
