I'll continue this in French, so keep your earphones.

Ms. Schryer, your organization interests me greatly, as a former teacher.

In your view, how do those initiatives contribute to poverty reduction? How can we consider incorporating the example set by your efforts into a Canada-wide poverty reduction strategy?
