“Mr. Speaker, that was a really nice comment, I must say. I would look to the leader of the Green Party. I can appreciate some sensitivity on the issue that is up for debate today from the Green Party’s perspective. I am wondering if the member could provide some of her thoughts on how indirectly government can support people on the issue. I have talked a great deal about, for example, the dental program, the pharmacare program and the grocery benefit program. Does she have any further thoughts on the issue of affordability and ways, whether direct or indirect, that the government can look at them?”

Mr. Speaker, Reasoning · 112 wordsI think we have to really be bold.Partly on pointWe need a guaranteed livable income to eradicate poverty in the country.Poverty costs our whole society.It is not a matter of charity.A wealthy, industrialized country like Canada should not have one in 10 Canadians living below the poverty line.1We should not have people setting up tent cities.We should be able to ensure that every Canadian has what it takes to live, and that allows people to not fear clawbacks if they start making money somewhere else.If we are really serious about it, end the class warfare and declare that Canada wins by bringing in a guaranteed livable income.
