The Summer 2016 issue of OnPolicy also offers some solutions to the problems of working poverty, such as improving food security and providing dental benefits for the working poor, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, tackling precarity in the workplace and improving working conditions for low-wage work.

The CCPA-Ontario has already proven itself to be a powerful and effective voice. It is helping to build a better Ontario."
