Hon. Lucie Pépin:

Honourable senators, I have a question for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. The facts we have on childhood poverty are overwhelming. Behind those statistics, children are suffering. The increase in federal child benefits is a step in the right direction, but it is still not enough for many families. We need to take a more coordinated approach.

Can the Leader of the Government in the Senate tell us why it is so difficult for her government to develop an action plan with clear objectives and deadlines, in an effort to reduce child poverty?
