Mr. Speaker, yesterday was the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
The objective of eradicating poverty, on which efforts must be focused every day, is an important part of our concerns if we wish to provide everyone with an improved quality of life.
Eradicating poverty must also be among the concerns of all governments, all organizations and all corporations. Each of us has a duty to help the most disadvantaged members of our society.
Let us hope that, with the new millennium fast approaching, each of us will be able to say that we have personally contributed to this objective, this societal necessity, of eradicating poverty as quickly as possible.
