If we talk about child poverty, it is 40%, through investments like the Canada child benefit, like investments in housing, like investments in vulnerable seniors. These are all measures both parties on the other side voted against.</p>",

Pour ce qui est de la pauvret\u00e9 infantile, nous avons r\u00e9duit celle-ci de 40 % gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des investissements comme la Prestation canadienne pour enfants et des investissements dans le logement, et nous avons aussi investi dans l'aide destin\u00e9e aux a\u00een\u00e9s vuln\u00e9rables. Ce sont toutes des mesures contre lesquelles les deux partis d'en face ont vot\u00e9.</p>"
