Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's commitment on this issue.
It is true that today more people have jobs than ever before, and that is a pretty important way to battle poverty, but this government has been very active in making sure that we provide services for people who need help, with a $1.4 billion housing trust and, every year, $1.8 billion devoted to affordable housing, as well as a $270 million homelessness partnering strategy. We have improved employment insurance benefits. We have done a number of things because we know it is our obligation to help those who need help.
