Thank you very much. Before I turn to Ms. Farha, I would like to make two comments.
Ms. Milne, I appreciate the importance of what you have said. You stated very fairly and very clearly that your recommendations must have a gender perspective. Thank you for that.
My second comment is for Mr. Lee. Your remarks lead me to the following question: as parliamentarians, over and above the expenditures we have to decide upon and in view of reduced revenues, what revenues are we missing out on due to our current tax system and the way we operate?
My question is for Ms. Farha. Departmental officials have told the committee that we do not have a definition of poverty in Canada. I think that is the starting point. Within your organization or internationally, is there a clear definition of poverty that we could use?
