Mr. Speaker, that is a pretty rich answer for poor kids.
Ireland's president is to visit Canada in June. Ireland has a national strategy with goals and a timetable to reduce poverty. Ireland took leadership and pumped a lot of money into training, child care and affordable housing. The result is that 90% of their young people graduate from high school. That is over 15% higher than in Canada. Canada does not even have a strategy.
When will the government take action, introduce a national anti-poverty strategy and close the prosperity gap?
