Madam Speaker, I have a very brief question.
I was listening to the minister as she addressed two issues in particular: poverty among children and in rural communities. Yet, funding for rural communities and the regions has been cut by $100,000.
I would like to ask her this: In light of the fact that we have unemployed workers in the riding of Matapédia—Matane who will go two months without any benefits, what are her thoughts about the poverty affecting the children of these unemployed workers?
