Mr. Speaker, naturally I listened carefully to the speech by the House leader of the Bloc Québécois who reminded us, among other things, of the Bloc's five conditions. I do not know if he will agree with me, but I believe that there could have been four or six.
Given the sad reality of poverty, which continues to spread in Quebec and elsewhere, can he tell me why the Bloc Québécois did not make this one of its conditional priorities and completely overlooked this aspect of our Quebec society which really needs to be addressed by both Quebec and federal jurisdictions?
