Federal Budget Watch: Laying the groundwork for a new austerity program |
|
|
|
by: Katherine Scott, CCSD Vice-President, Research & Policy
We’ve been warned. The next federal budget, expected in March, will be first and foremost about cuts to public programs, with the express goal of reducing the federal deficit over the next few years, and reducing the debt accumulated since the 2008-09 recession. Even as the economic news last Fall suggested that the recovery was losing steam, the Finance Minister was reconfirming the government’s intent to bring down the deficit as quickly as possible.

CCSD Calls on Government to Acknowledge Damage to Census |

Group seeks restitution of proper survey for 2016
(Ottawa) Today's first release of Census data and information concerning the 2011 Census proves the federal government made a massive error in eliminating the mandatory nature of the “long form census” collecting detailed information to guide decision making in Canada, according to one of the largest non-government user of Stats Can data.
The reported participation rate for the National Voluntary Household Survey is just 69% down from 94% in the 2006 Mandatory Census. “This (drop) will prevent many disadvantaged Canadians from having their needs recognized and being able to fully participate in society“ says Canadian Council on Social Development (CCSD) President Peggy Taillon on behalf of the “Equal Right to be Counted” charter challenge group. The group has a court challenge on the census on behalf of vulnerable groups currently awaiting judgment from the Supreme Court of Canada.
