This report proposes 21 recommendations, 16 of which fall within provincial juris- diction. They address the root causes of child and family poverty — low wages, inadequate welfare rates and other income supports, an insufficiently progres- sive tax system, the housing and child care crises, the unaddressed discrimination and under-investments affecting Indigenous families and communities, gender discrimination affecting women raising children and many other systemic barriers trapping specific population groups in poverty. Together these recommendations form the start of a comprehensive provincial poverty re- duction plan.
