Canada introduces legislation to reduce poverty

 

The government of Canada has introduced new legislation to take dicisive steps to reduce poverty in the country. Jean-Yves Duclos, the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development in Canada, has mooted a legislation as part of Opportunity for All – Canada’s First Poverty Reduction Strategy.

The legislation proposes clear-cut poverty reduction targets, such as a 20 per cent reduction in poverty by 2020 and a 50 per cent reduction in poverty by 2030, relative to 2015 levels. These targets will be the lowest poverty rates in history.

The new bill also intends to introduce an official measure of poverty: Canada’s Official Poverty Line. Finally, the Bill aims to form a National Advisory Council on Poverty which would advise the government on various poverty reduction issues.

Hi there,


Thank you for visiting PICANTE News and thank you reading my articles!


I have been writing articles and explaining reports in several industries for well over a decade or so. This is why I pride myself as one of the few survivors left in the world who have actually mastered the impossible art of copy editing. During my education phase I've graduated in Physics and obtained my Master’s degree in Communication and Journalism.


Although I usually focus on social and political news, I have some favorite topics that always make me happier. These topics include writing about sports events and travel writing.


During my career I've have written for numerous websites and my in-depth analytical articles have been highlighted in top sports magazines like Cricket Today and Sports Today. I report several social, education and wordwide community releated headlines from all around the globe.
