|Michael Prue’s plan to make poverty history in Ontario |
| |
|AT A GLANCE: |
|Eliminating the shameful ODSP clawback on earned income, |
|An $11/hr minimum wage by 2011, |
|Housing subsidies that reflect the actual cost of housing in the community, |
|A commitment to fighting poverty from day one. |
| |
|Nearly 20 years ago, all major federal party leaders rose in the House of Commons and pledged to end child poverty by the year |
|2000. It has been almost nine years since that historic all-party resolution, and child poverty remains a blot on Canadian |
|society. Indeed, the reason that child poverty continues to exist here is because those impoverished children have parents who |
|are equally impoverished. |
