Resumen

Whereas poverty reduction contributes to meeting Canada’s international human rights obligations, including under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the purpose of the Act is to support continuous efforts in, and continuous monitoring of, poverty reduction in Canada.The targets for poverty reduction in Canada to which the Government of Canada aspires are the following: (a) 20% below the level of poverty in 2015 by 2020; and(b) 50% below the level of poverty in 2015 by 2030. A council is established, to be known as the National Advisory Council on Poverty, consisting of 8 to 10 members, including a Chairperson and a member with particular responsibilities for children’s issues.
