Please take a moment to look at this and click on the link to send a message to McGuinty.  It is utterly disgraceful and irresponsible that this is still an issue.  It would be great if you would take the time to forward this to all your contacts.  Thanks.  Martha

Make Poverty History


One in six children in Ontario is living in poverty


One in six children in Ontario is living in poverty.

We need your help now to try and get the Ontario government to carry through on its promise to end the claw-back of the National Child Benefit Supplement from families on social assistance.

In Ontario, the provincial government takes away, or “claws-back”, roughly $120 every month from over 170,000 of the poorest children in the form of reduced social assistance payments.

$120 may not seem like a lot. But for families on social assistance in Ontario, where a single mother with one child receives only $987 a month and the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $903 a month, $120 could make a big difference in whether mothers have enough to feed and clothe their children and themselves.

In 2003, when Premier Dalton McGuinty was running for office, he promised to end the ‘claw-back’ of the National Child Benefit Supplement from families on social assistance. He still hasn’t kept his promise.

Please take a moment to send a letter to Dalton McGuinty (and to the leaders of the opposition parties) asking him to keep his promise to end the claw-back of the NCBS by clicking here: http://www.makepovertyhistory.ca/e/ontario/.

If you would like more information about the campaign to end the claw-back, visit http://www.handsoffnow.ca

Thank you for your efforts to end poverty globally and in Canada.

Abolissons la pauvrete!


Un enfant ontarien sur six vit dans la pauvreté.


À tous les participants de la campagne Abolissons la pauvreté,

Un enfant ontarien sur six vit dans la pauvreté.

Nous avons besoin de votre aide maintenant pour tenter de convaincre le gouvernement ontarien de respecter sa promesse de mettre fin à la récupération du Supplément de la prestation nationale pour enfant auprès des familles qui ont besoin de l’aide sociale.

En Ontario, le gouvernement provincial enlève ou « récupère » environ 120 $ chaque mois à plus de 170 000 des enfants les plus pauvres, en réduisant de ce montant leurs prestations d’aide sociale.

On peut penser que 120 $ ne représente pas beaucoup d’argent. Mais pour les familles assistées sociales de l’Ontario, où une mère autonome avec un enfant ne reçoit que 987 $ par mois alors que le loyer moyen d’un appartement de deux chambres est de 903 $ par mois, la somme de 120 $ peut faire toute la différence en fournissant aux mères de quoi nourrir et habiller leurs enfants et elles-mêmes.

En 2003, alors que le premier ministre Dalton McGuinty était en campagne électorale, il a promis de mettre fin à cette « récupération » du Supplément de la prestation nationale pour enfant (SPNE) auprès des familles assistées sociales. Trois ans plus tard, il n’a pas encore tenu cette promesse.

Veuillez prendre un instant pour faire parvenir la lettre ci-jointe à Dalton McGuinty (et les chefs des partis d’opposition) en exigeant qu’il respecte sa promesse de mettre fin à la récupération du SPNE.

Pour plus de renseignements sur la campagne visant à mettre fin à cette mesure, rendez-vous au http://www.incomesecurity.org/campaigns/handsoff/index_f.html

Merci d'agir pour abolir la pauvreté, tant à l'échelle mondiale que nationale.

Sincèrement vôtre,

Dennis Howlett
Coordinateur de la campagne Abolissons la pauvreté
