Status of Women committee  That is an effective strategy. I think I can actually answer Mr. Serré's question too.

Status of Women committee  Undoubtedly, the Canada child benefit will make a different. Nine out of 10 families benefit from that, and it is targeted to those families that need it most. So we will see, undoubtedly, poverty reduction impacts of that. On the issue of single seniors, this is an outlier. Gen

Status of Women committee  I think that as we engage and talk to experts on the poverty reduction strategy, we will certainly hear about that instrument for addressing poverty.

Status of Women committee  Thank you. I think I'll respectfully defer to my colleague on that.

Human Resources committee  Thank you. I believe those consultations were for the national housing strategy. I will have to get in touch with my colleagues from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. We will be connecting the relevant information from that engagement—

Human Resources committee  We will be having a series of engagements that will look at.... We won't be doing housing again, not specifically, because we are working with Canada Mortgage and Housing to identify the relevant issues that came out from that. However, we will be talking to people with the lived
