What are the costs of not ending poverty?
 
Jagrup Brar, the MLA “on welfare” will
meet with academic and lived experts on poverty to learn what the cost of
poverty is to the people of BC. They will also consider the costs and benefits
of action to end poverty including much higher welfare rates. 
 
Come to a news conference to find the answers to
these questions.
