Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague across the aisle for his great speech and to talk about, in particular, his comments on poverty. It is something that is near and dear to my heart, because my riding of Saint John—Rothesay, unfortunately, leads the country in child poverty. In ward 3, in fact, there are poverty rates of up to 50% for children, which is absolutely unacceptable for the city and the region.
My question for my colleague is this. The NDP was full of a lot of talk with respect to the middle class and families, but besides the $15-an-hour minimum wage that it proposed, which was going to help fewer than 1% of Canadian workers, and despite the $10-a-day day care plan that it proposed, which was going to take years to implement because many of the provinces were not on board, what other policies does the NDP have to help with children's poverty?
