Poverty and the minimum wage platforms

Here's what the 2023 Alberta election parties are promising.
We don't have any UCP policies on Poverty and the minimum wage.

NDP
  • Index the minimum wage to inflation
  • Review income supports to address gaps

    "As part of the review, we will consult on:

       Eliminating the discrimination in Income Support eligibility and amounts between Barriers to Full Employment and AISH.

       Removing unfair clawbacks and asset thresholds that keep people in poverty and are disincentives to training and employment.

       The Income Supports Appeals Secretariat to improve accessibility and reduce poverty." — albertandp.ca, retrieved 2023-05-27

  • Permanently index benefits to inflation
