 *Government Consultations on Poverty Reduction have begun*

The Ontario Government has committed to developing an Ontario Poverty
Reduction Strategy by the end of 2008. The strategy will focus initially on
reducing child poverty. Government consultations have begun and are expected
to wrap up by June 30th, 2008. ISAC is working to ensure low-income people
are included in the consultations and that the strategy benefits all people
living in poverty, including people on social assistance.
