Mr. Speaker, there is definitely no perfect solution. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
We had specific goals and we did not exactly reach them all. Let us still take a look at Canada's overall situation today. In 1970, some people were living in abject poverty. They are much fewer in number today. According to Statistics Canada, 29% of seniors had low incomes in 1970, compared to 3.7% today. In my opinion, our achievements speak for themselves.
Could we have done more and had better results? That is quite likely the case. However, we were on the right track.
