Take a stand against income inequality

Speak up to let MPs know you believe income inequality needs to be addressed in the House of Commons

income

Canadians believe that growing income inequality is the most important challenge facing Canada.

A rise in inequality of opportunity leads to tremendous social and economic costs for Canada. Income inequality in Canada has grown under federal and provincial governments of all stripes. No political party has a monopoly on either the solutions or the blame.

Liberal Finance critic Scott Brison argued that “we can reform Canada’s tax and transfer system to reduce the burden on low income Canadians and help boost people over the welfare wall. The federal government could work more closely with the provinces on a national learning agenda. Improved access to early learning and child care could help all children regardless of family income get a good start. Canadians also need more support for life-long learning with an increased focus on trades to help them adapt and train to qualify for the jobs of today and tomorrow.”

If, like Mr. Brison, you believe it’s time to address income inequality, sign and share this petition.
