All right.
As I was leaving the Westin hotel this morning, where I've been graciously housed, a few steps away there was a man laying on the street, homeless. That shouldn't happen so few metres away from the House of Commons. In front of the Lord Elgin hotel a woman was holding a cap out and asking for money. That shouldn't happen in the midst of such affluence.
As Gandhi once said, “Poverty is the worst form of violence”. He also stated, ”You must be the change you wish to see in the world”. Let us enable all important mechanisms of change, as we modernize the court challenges program to create true access to justice for all, and in doing so end the violence of poverty in Canada.
I look forward to answering any questions.
