Sen. Art Eggleton told The Free Press Monday it’s “disgusting” that more than one million Canadian children live in poverty and it’s time to fix the system that keeps them poor… The report offers 74 recommendations, which include raising income supports for people on welfare and the working poor; a national housing strategy; and a national child-care system… Eggleton said the business community in several municipalities across the country has embraced the need for change, recognizing that “poverty costs a lot,” but the programs in place are ineffective.
