Cardus formule une série de recommandations concernant les ententes sur les avantages communautaires (EAC) dans le cadre du Fonds pour des collectivités fortes.

Cardus seeks to add to the conversation around these changes by recommending tweaks to the proposed model to better optimize the balance between work and government support for disabled Albertans.
