I agree.
I have been trying to improve the situation of women for a number of years. There is nothing new in what you just told us this morning. We have been hearing for years about that, to the point that the government of Quebec decided to do things on his own because in Canada, nobody listened to the people who talked about the situation of women.
Our researchers have just handed out a very nice report, written by Monica Townson, a colleague of Ruth Rose. I don't know if her name is familiar to you. In Quebec, we have been using since 1993 the studies of Ruth Rose to adopt various policies aimed at developping the autonomy of women.
It is easy to understand that there are direct costs related to poverty. Have your organizations measured the direct costs associated with women's poverty? We talk about poverty, and you also talked about mental health and costs for lone women. Have you done any studies on the inherent costs of poverty?
