Poverty circumstances of Government-Assisted Refugees
Resolution number:
2
November 2005
Whereas:
Transportation loans and welfare levels of refugee support of government-assisted refugees under the Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) force them into poverty;
Therefore be it resolved:
That the CCR urge the federal and Québec governments to raise the RAP rates to at least the low income cut-off (LICO) rate to bring the government-assisted refugees out of poverty.
