Mr. Speaker, recently, the Assemblée des évêques du Québec met with a group of influential people to discuss ways to deal with the ever widening poverty gap which is causing more and more damage and suffering in our society.
The proposals developed by this group of experts echo the pressing demands submitted by many groups and organizations to a government that still refuses to listen.
Mr. Speaker, poverty is not just a statistic. It has a face, that of men and women who suffer and try to recover their dignity in any way they can.
The Bloc Quebecois supports this initiative and intends to make sure that the recommendations of this group of experts is not ignored by this government.
