Tamil: Bolder action needed to reduce child poverty

Toronto's Tamil radio show CMR FM 101.3 Tamil Morning reports:

In its report, Campaign 2000, an anti-poverty advocacy group, says 1.4 million children are living in poverty in Canada, 29 years after the House of Commons voted to end child poverty by 2000. The report calls for the federal government to provide more funding to the provinces, territories and Indigenous communities to expand affordable, quality child care. Campaign 2000 acknowledges and appreciates the the introduction of important measures to tackle this problem, including boosting the Canada Child Benefit - a tax-free monthly benefit to help with living and child care costs - two years earlier than planned. But while this benefit does help low-income families, it does not fully address the need for better access to child care as a way to help lift families out of poverty, the national coordinator of the group says.
