Your presentations were all very thoughtful and touched on subject areas that are important as we move forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6450767\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Mr. Lee, thank you. As always, I appreciate your comments. Funnily enough, the September 10 commentary by the Bank of Canada governor, charts 6 and 7, which you referenced.... I was very happy to see your reference to the work that's been done to decrease levels of poverty in Canada. We had two measures in our platform, the 10% increase in old age security and then the very targeted increase in the CPP survivor's benefit, which would need co-operation from the provinces. This would aid many single seniors when someone passes away. That would be a large measure. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6450768\" data-originallang=\"en\">I look at the official poverty dashboard that came out in February 2020 this year and the decline in poverty rates across the country, especially when we assumed power; the increase in the Canada child benefit; the 10% increase in the GIS; and then the economy creating over a million jobs. These are great things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6450769\" data-originallang=\"en\">If you had to name two policy measures that we could implement on a going forward basis, what would they be? Be very quick, please.</p>",

Vos expos\u00e9s \u00e9taient tous tr\u00e8s r\u00e9fl\u00e9chis et portaient sur des sujets importants pour l\u2019avenir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6450767\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Merci, monsieur Lee. Comme toujours, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie vos commentaires. Justement, le commentaire du 10 septembre du gouverneur de la Banque du Canada, les graphiques 6 et 7, dont vous avez parl\u00e9... J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s heureux de vous entendre parler des mesures prises pour r\u00e9duire les niveaux de pauvret\u00e9 au Canada. Nous avons propos\u00e9 deux mesures dans notre programme, l\u2019augmentation de 10 % de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse et l\u2019augmentation tr\u00e8s cibl\u00e9e des prestations de survivant du RPC, qui n\u00e9cessiterait la collaboration des provinces. Cela aiderait beaucoup de personnes seules \u00e2g\u00e9es apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9c\u00e8s d\u2019un conjoint. Ce serait une mesure importante. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6450768\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je regarde le tableau de bord officiel de la pauvret\u00e9 qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 cette ann\u00e9e en f\u00e9vrier et la baisse des taux de pauvret\u00e9 partout au pays, surtout lorsque nous sommes arriv\u00e9s au pouvoir: l\u2019augmentation de l\u2019Allocation canadienne pour enfants, l\u2019augmentation de 10 % du Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti et l\u2019\u00e9conomie qui a cr\u00e9\u00e9 plus d\u2019un million d\u2019emplois. Ce sont d\u2019excellentes mesures.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6450769\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si vous deviez nommer deux mesures strat\u00e9giques que nous pourrions mettre en \u0153uvre \u00e0 l\u2019avenir, quelles seraient-elles? Tr\u00e8s rapidement, s'il vous pla\u00eet.</p>"
