Ontario Budget 2024: No Real Lifeline for Low Income Ontarians
In late March, the Ontario government tabled a $214 billion budget for 2024-25, the largest in the province’s history. But if you are among the hundreds of thousands of low income working age Ontarians struggling to make both ends meet, unfortunately, there is little in it for you to be excited about.
We advance the systemic interests and rights of low-income and equity-seeking communities and meaningfully support Indigenous Peoples and communities, with a focus on improving income security programs and ending low-wage precarious employment.
