Thank you, Chair, and welcome to everybody. These are wonderful presentations this morning.
One thing I think the government tends to do at the federal level is to try to alleviate situations. For example, I think we've done some good things with the Canada child benefit. I think that is something that will be transformational over time. There is an increase in the IAH, investment in affordable housing. Those things are great programs, though they're certainly not the solution.
I'm going to shift gears a little bit and start with Mr. Elliott-Buckley.
We're a committee that is travelling the country. We're going to advise the minister on coming up with a national poverty reduction strategy. As we know, there are lots of different pockets and bubbles, whether of shelters, housing, or mental health. We need, obviously, big support in all of them.
Strategically, what would you do over the long term to get upstream of poverty, as Mr. Harvey said, especially generational poverty, in Canada? I do have an answer in mind, but I want to hear what you say. What would you do?
