Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his speech and thank him for it.
Throne speeches are always an interesting read because of all the things they include. They are also interesting because of the things they leave out. The new Liberal government's throne speech left a few things out, including three words, two concepts: “social housing” and “poverty”. The only mention of poverty in the Liberal government's throne speech had to do with fighting poverty abroad, as though poor people here in Canada and Quebec had suddenly disappeared.
Can my colleague give us some specifics about the plan to help poor families in Quebec and British Columbia and across Canada?
