I'd like to go back to the same subject, and then we can talk about the fight against poverty.
You talked about the communities, but, at the same time, we shouldn't replace the public systems. In Quebec, as in the rest of Canada, we realize that we have to fund and support community or collective systems so that people can stay as close to their families as possible. Prevention will mean that health and social service costs will be lower for society over the long term. It is important to bear that in mind.
In Quebec, we've observed a slight improvement in the fight against poverty. We've come a long way with regard, for example, to women and single-parent families. We need more comprehensive and coherent family policies that help in the fight against poverty. We've denounced the fact for a number of years and a number of studies confirm it: single-parent families are poor.
Everyone knows that more action must be taken. Future generations will attend school more, and poverty will therefore be reduced. Other measures are needed, but there still has to be employment and the necessary resources to improve the situation. That requires major investments over the long term.
