On Thursday, November 23rd, CPJ and co-sponsors Senator @kimpateonthehill and MP @bonitazarrillo organized a parliamentary breakfast for members of parliament and civil society groups to engage in poverty alleviation efforts at the federal level. Our panelists Steven Staples (Canadian Health Coalition), Michèle Biss (National Right to Housing Network), Carolyn Webb (@chsf_canada) and Rabia Khedr (@disabilitywithoutpoverty) shared their expertise to call for equitable standards to current policies. Their policy areas and recommendations focused on pharma care & social determinants of health, a rights-based approach to affordable housing, a national call for sustainable food systems & healthy school food programs, and the design & delivery of the Canada Disability Benefit. After the panelists shared their remarks, attendees of the event shared their remarks on cultivating the urgency and adequacy needed to address poverty alleviation at the federal level. We thank everyone for their contributions to eradicating poverty in Canada. #policychange #cdnpoli #affordablehousing #faithinaction #Ottawa #povertyincanada #CPJ #publicjustice #equity #endpoverty #socialjustice
