Madam Speaker, you had not recognized me, but I am glad you did. Better late than never, as they say.
I was very moved by the words of the hon. leader of the NDP, especially when mentioned the young woman in New Brunswick. What her story tells us is that hope has to take root somewhere. People must be given hope that jobs will be created and poverty will be fought.
I congratulate the NDP on its decades old tradition of fighting for social justice, as was mentioned by my colleague from Kamloops regarding David Lewis.
I would like my colleague to elaborate on two of the interesting ideas she put forward, although there were many. She mentioned targets and setting targets in the fight against poverty and unemployment. I wonder if she would expand a bit on these ideas, which are extremely valuable in my opinion, and could become a real policy on job creation and the fight against poverty.
