Mr. Speaker, according to the UNICEF report that came out today, 47 million children in developed countries are living in poverty. Canada occupies the No. 17 position in a list of 23 industrialized nations.
The reason for Canada's low standing is that one child in five lives in poverty. Even though this government has passed various budget measures, the problem of poverty still persists.
Will the Prime Minister make up his mind to take real measures to eliminate our children's poverty now?
