Decision Time for Canada: Let's Make Poverty History

Sixteen years ago the House of Commons unanimously resolved to "seek to
achieve the
goal of eliminating poverty among Canadian children by the year 2000." Yet,
more than
1.2 million children - one child out of every six in Canada - still lives
in poverty.

Child poverty is a special concern for governments and communities. No one
can ignore
the evidence from the multitude of studies that have documented the
dreadful effects of
poverty on children... Canada's high rate of child poverty is shocking for
a country ranked
among the wealthiest in the world. Canada ranks bronze on childhood
poverty, with a
rate almost six times that of Denmark! - The Conference Board of Canada.
