I repeat, one in seven. In a prosperous country like ours, the government must take action to address this startling number. Too many people are facing income insecurity. Too many people are working full-time jobs and are still not able to make ends meet. No one should be forced to play eeny meeny miney mo between bills and medications. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3961338\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we need to help individuals and families grow and thrive are more full-time, well-paying jobs, a strong public health care system, an enhanced federal minimum wage, and a national early childhood education program. We need an economy that works for all Canadians. Solving poverty requires a commitment to human dignity and justice. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3961339\" data-originallang=\"en\">From the bottom of my heart, I wish to thank all those who participated in assembling the national anti-poverty plan released this morning.</p>",

Je le r\u00e9p\u00e8te: un Canadien sur sept. Dans un pays aussi prosp\u00e8re que le n\u00f4tre, le gouvernement doit intervenir pour faire baisser cette statistique alarmante. Trop de gens vivent l'ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 du revenu. Trop de gens n'arrivent pas \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts, m\u00eame s'ils travaillent \u00e0 temps plein. Personne ne devrait \u00eatre forc\u00e9 de tirer \u00e0 pile ou face pour faire le choix entre payer les factures ou acheter un m\u00e9dicament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3961338\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour aider les individus et les familles \u00e0 s'\u00e9panouir et prosp\u00e9rer, il nous faut plus d'emplois \u00e0 temps plein et bien r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s, un syst\u00e8me de soins de sant\u00e9 robuste, un salaire minimum f\u00e9d\u00e9ral bonifi\u00e9 et une strat\u00e9gie nationale d'\u00e9ducation de la petite enfance. L'\u00e9conomie doit servir tous les Canadiens. \u00c9radiquer la pauvret\u00e9 n\u00e9cessite un engagement envers la dignit\u00e9 humaine et la justice. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3961339\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je remercie du fond du coeur tous ceux qui ont particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9laboration du plan anti-pauvret\u00e9 national lanc\u00e9 ce matin.</p>"
