2022 Report of the National Advisory Council on Poverty
In this report, they note the significant progress made in reducing poverty in Canada. While this is great news, they also note that deep inequities remain for certain populations made most marginal in our society. Reductions in poverty rates may be difficult to maintain in the years to come as we grapple with issues such as record inflation, long-term impacts of the pandemic and the phasing out of emergency supports. Sustainable poverty reduction will require a whole-of-society commitment to rebuilding and maintaining systems that leave no one behind.
They invite you to read, share, and continue the dialogue. As a Council, they will continue asking questions and learning from those with lived experience of poverty, as well as reflecting on what we heard and where they need to go from here.
Your feedback will help they keep the conversation going. Please share with them your feedback and let them know if you would like to take part in future engagement activities, by sending an e-mail to EDSC.CCNP-NACP.ESDC@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca.
