Madam Speaker, I listened to the hon. member for Mount Royal. I agree with her and I am sad to hear her talking about poverty in Canada and Quebec since it is now affecting women. I am very sorry to hear that. I heard a lot of descriptions of poverty in the hon. member's speech.
However, I would like to ask her two questions. First, if we want to reform the social system or social programs in Canada, do we expect that we will have more poor people? Because, otherwise, I would have preferred that we used the time of the House to speak about job creation.
Second, I would like to make sure, through the hon. member for Mount Royal, the government representative today, that the reform will not be aimed at giving less money to the poor.
