Mr. Bertrand MaÌtre:

Every time we look at the profile of the households who are more likely to experience income poverty or deprivation, we find is always lone parents or households where someone has a disability. For example, as the Senator just mentioned, we can see children living in a household where someone has a disability are much more likely to be at risk of poverty and to experience material deprivation. There is a cost associated with disability which means people might have a certain level of income, but they cannot translate that into a decent standard of living because of that cost of disability. Very often, as the Senator mentioned, it is lone parents, or, for example, people with a disability or people with a lower level of education. Those are really strong predictor factors for experiencing poverty and deprivation.
