2017 Federal budget proposal

As some of you know, Prosper Canada has made a 2017 Budget submission to the federal government. We are recommending that the federal government invest $2M annually over five years to develop and execute targeted outreach and support strategies that will enable Canadians with low incomes to access $100M+ in income benefits they are currently eligible for, but not receiving. We believe that this will make a critical difference to the lives of people currently struggling to make ends meet. Read a summary of the budget proposal.

 

We would welcome your support for this proposal. You can do this by writing directly to Minister Bill Morneau (bill.morneau@canada.ca), copying in Elliot Hughes, (elliot.hughes@canada.ca) to support the recommendation. Please also let us know if you do submit a letter by copying in info@prospercanada.org.
