Poverty Elimination Working Group

Join this group

The report is available at:

http://www.gov.ns.ca/coms/specials/poverty/PovertyReductionStrategy.html

Curious as well how various stakeholders feel about the report and / or progress on it.

Short term goal results are due by end of fiscal 08/09.

It's great we have this, and more governments are adopting such strategies, but if no one holds them accountable for results - nothing will happen.
