Mr. Speaker, what our government wanted to do, for the very purpose of fighting child poverty, was to bypass structures and appoint individuals to look after it.
I think the member's idea is interesting, and we should look at it, but let us look at what we have done as the government.
We have invested $3 billion a year in the national child benefit. These investments will come back each year. We established this national benefit in co-operation with the provinces so that they too are contributing to the fight against poverty.
