Quebec's 2024-2029 poverty action plan, allocating $750M, faces criticism from Quebec sans pauvreté collective seeking income improvements.

Quebec's 2024-2029 government action plan against poverty, allocating $750 million over five years, faces criticism from Quebec sans pauvreté collective. The group argues the funds should improve incomes rather than "patch up" issues, and suggests increasing solidarity tax credit, minimum wage, and incomes for seniors and welfare recipients. Minister Chantal Rouleau points out Quebec's low low-income rate of 6.6%.
