Toronto, ON - Two influential reports issued this week provide an optimistic signal that the Government of Canada is preparing to tackle the poverty of Canadians with disabilities.  The Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL) celebrates International Human Rights Day, today December 10, 2009, by applauding both the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology and the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance for their efforts and recommendations to address the persistent poverty of Canadians with disabilities and their families.
