Mr. Speaker, during the convention held last weekend by the Quebec wing of the Liberal Party of Canada, the grassroots people paid particular attention to social issues in Canada.
They urged the federal government to raise family allowances. They also proposed that the government give higher tax credits to retirees, based on their income and their age.
Another resolution passed by Liberal militants urges the government to initiate new programs that would have a direct impact on the improvement of our education system and the fight against poverty.
This is the kind of concern that women and men from all regions of Quebec discussed at our last convention.
