Mr. Speaker, I have looked in a preliminary way at the report and it points to a problem we are already beginning to work on.
In the last budget of the Minister of Finance, 400,000 low income Canadians were taken off the tax rolls completely. Millions more low and middle income Canadians are having their taxes reduced. We are increasing by $850 million the child tax credit which is aimed at helping lower income Canadians.
These are just a few examples of our efforts to deal with the issue of poverty, particularly child poverty.
