The Common Front for Social Justice says the provincial government is stifling democracy when it comes to the Poverty Reduction Initiative. Twenty-four organizations have signed an open letter asking Premier Shawn Graham to release the Options Report on dealing with poverty. It was drafted during roundtable discussions involving 30 people. Provincial coordinator, Jean-Claude Basque, tells CHSJ news the issue of poverty needs to be discussed openly.
A decision will be made on the options in the report following a premier's forum in November.
