Mr. Speaker, in fact, back in budget 2006 “Advantage Canada“, we outlined the beginning of our plans to help eliminate poverty, particularly for children. That is why we introduced the universal child care benefit. By the way, the universal child care benefit removed 55,000 children from the low income classes.
There is also the child tax benefit and the child disability benefit. There are a number of ways in which we have already taken action to help remove children from poverty.
