The CCRC welcomes the next step in the development of a National Poverty Reduction Strategy. Ending child poverty should be a strong focus in the process and the final strategy. A discussion paper and on-line consultations invite input from across Canada. The deadline for consultation is June. Release of the strategy is expected in Fall, 2017.
The CCRC is working on a submission that will focus on children’s rights in relation to the proposed strategy. We also welcome your suggestions at info@rightsofchildren.ca
