Mr. Speaker, just the opposite is true. In fact, inequality has not changed. It has maintained its level since 1997. However, low income rates for seniors, children and families in general have declined, in some cases been halved, in the last 15 years.
The report recommends two things to overcome poverty, two things that our government has been very proud to do. That has been to provide support for skills training and upgrading for young people and for grownups, so they can get the jobs in demand these days. Also, we have lowered taxes over 140 times so far to help Canadians.
