“We need to see this consistent investment in actually ending poverty because we are spending all of this money managing poverty,” SPCW Executive Director Kehler said. A program like guaranteed income could help people out of poverty. #BasicIncome winnipegsun.com/opinion/column…

The 2023 Manitoba Child and Family Report Card recommends the immediately introduction of a Livable Basic Needs Benefit, which would transform EIA as a first step towards a basic income.

"Targeted supports directed to the families most in need are what will protect households and the economy from the rising cost of living. Governments have the capacity to end child and family poverty. They simply need the political will to do so." @ecojosh
