Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
In its report on children released yesterday, the Canadian Council on Social Development sends a serious warning to the government and clearly shows that cuts in provincial transfers have a detrimental effect on our children. This impact can be felt not only among poor children but also among middle-class children. I should remind him that one child out of every five lives in poverty.
Does this government intend to change the way provincial transfers for health and social services are made so that our children can have a chance to achieve their full potential?
