When you say “geographically more sensitive”, I assume that this would help us understand what the experience of poverty looks like in London, Ontario, compared to Montreal, compared to Vancouver, compared to rural and remote parts of the country. We can have a more accurate understanding of what poverty really looks like and the experience of it for people going through it, whereas before we couldn't really come to such a view.
What we're measuring here are the essentials necessary for a dignified life, yes?
