You can’t build Ontario on a crumbling foundation: Recommendations to strengthen the social safety net
Published on February 14, 2023
The government’s plan to build Ontario up will not work unless it is done on a solid foundation – and that foundation is the social safety net.
To this end, Maytree calls on the Ontario government to:
- Improve the adequacy of the social assistance system;
- Strengthen the broader income support system for unattached working-age adults and people with disabilities;
- Support the protection and development of affordable housing; and
- Complement the efforts of other governments to improve income and housing security.
