Provincial Budgets

Each year, ISAC contributes to the Ontario Budget process by making pre-Budget submissions to Legislative committee hearings and the Minister of Finance’s roundtable consultations. We also often speak at these events.

We use the opportunity of the pre-Budget process to press for greater income security for Ontarians, and particularly for government to address the wildly inadequate benefit rates given to people who rely on Ontario’s two social assistance programs, Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program.
