Breaking the Cycle: Ontario's Poverty Reduction Strategy

A Long-Term Commitment

Tackling poverty is about making the economy stronger over the long term. That’s why the government plans to introduce legislation in spring 2009 that would, if passed, solidify Ontario’s commitment to poverty reduction. The government intends to table legislation that would include requirements to measure and publicly report on the progress being made in implementing the strategy.

All Hands on Deck

Breaking the cycle of poverty requires the collective effort of all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors and citizens across this province. It is going to be particularly important for the federal government to come to the table as a willing partner.
