We wish we had more time to ask you more questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3019679\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to begin with Ms. McLachlan.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3019680\" data-originallang=\"en\">A question I asked yesterday to a group of witnesses mostly from the business sector was about the latest issue of <em>The Economist</em>, which is focused on the global increase of inequality. I wondered what your specific recommendations would do to decrease inequality in this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3019681\" data-originallang=\"en\">Secondly, more specifically, you talk about a federal plan for poverty elimination? Can you give us an example of a country that has effectively introduced a strategy for poverty elimination with targets and timetables that has been effective in reducing poverty?</p>",
