Hon. Art Eggleton:

Honourable senators, my question for the leader of the government arises from the report adopted by the Senate a few weeks ago, entitled: In From the margins: A Call to Action on Poverty, Housing and Homelessness. Particularly hard hit are urban Aboriginal children, who are over-represented in poverty, face discrimination and live in unsafe housing.

Will the government commit to the establishment and funding of Aboriginal working groups in all communities to identify priorities for urban Aboriginal peoples to address poverty, housing and homelessness issues in their communities?
