Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Ambassador, for being before us today.
I was interested in the figures you cited around the reduction of indigence and poverty levels. You mentioned that from 1990 to 2003, the indigence level was reduced from 12.9% to 4.7%, and the poverty rate from 38.6% to 18.8%.
I'm interested in the definitions of poverty and indigence, and in how one defines them and whether this in real terms. In other words, does the definition change with the cost of living?
