Presenting on income inequality to the Standing Committee on Finance

CCPA Senior Economist Armine Yalnizyan was among the witnesses who testified to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance as part of the committee’s ongoing study of income inequality. Armine discusses income inequality—giving us cause to consider what inaction could mean—and shares some recommendations on how the federal government can play an important role in offsetting growing income inequality and the problems it unleashes.

You can read the full transcript of Armine’s presentation, here: Study of Income Inequality in Canada—What Can Be Done. You can also watch video of the hearing, here.
