A few years back the Liberal government of the day made a big show of the poverty reduction plan put together in Saint John.
Since then precious little has happened on that front to the chagrin of many provincial anti-poverty activists.
Jean Claude Basque of the Common Front for Social Justice says if anything more people are struggling since the plan was created.
An announcement in Fredericton tomorrow may mean the government is starting to take notice.
A series of public discussions leading to the renewal of the poverty reduction plan will be announced.
Premier David Alward and Healthy and Inclusive Communities Minister Dorothy Shephard will be there.
