Canada does not know how many seniors live in poverty. Mohy-Dean Tabbara and Paloma Griffin make the case for a seniors-specific measure of poverty to capture the extra costs older Canadians contend with. options-po.li/3NqpaXd
🔔 New article by @palomagriffin and me in @IRPP based on our @maytree_canada report. We highlight the shortcomings of existing poverty measures when it comes to seniors. We recommend that Canada should develop a new senior-specific measure of poverty. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/dece…

Funding of the Canada #Disability Benefit in the 2024 federal budget fails to achieve its stated purpose - to reduce #poverty among people with disabilities, writes @NCHetherington, CEO of #DailyBreadTO: bit.ly/4dh9CAr @TorontoStar #FundTheBenefit #CDNPoli

The Federal Budget April 16 has the opportunity to fully fund the Canada Disability Benefit. That act could be the end of legislating over 1 million Canadians into deep poverty. @cafreeland @j_maloney @JustinTrudeau @DailyBreadTO @Disability_WP thestar.com/news/gta/daily…
While the funding source of the CDB is outlined in the legislation, the magnitude of the funding is and has not been set. What the disability community is looking for is a commitment for the amount as worries mount that the feds will only make the DTC refundable.

Couldn't agree more with today's @maytree_canada #CDB policy brief. Path of least resistance to ensuring the CDB is a supplementary benefit is to categorize as exempt income for all purposes, including F/P/T #Disability income supports. #cdnpoli maytree.com/publications/h…
How should the new Canada Disability Benefit interact with existing disability supports? maytree.com/publications/h…
How will the new #CanadaDisabilityBenefit interact with existing disability supports like #ODSP and #CPPD? #cdnpoli @KamalKheraLib @MichaelParsa maytree.com/publications/h…
Great brief out today by @maytree_canada We agree, the #CDB is meant to be a #SupplementNotASubtraction . We call on all levels of govn't to ensure there are no clawbacks. Let the #CDB do what it is designed to do - bring #PWD out of legislated poverty maytree.com/publications/h…
