Memo: Cardus Submission to Parliamentary Committee on Bill C-22: Canada Disability Benefit Act

As the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities considers Bill C-22, Cardus encourages the committee to design the Canada Disability Benefit with a bias toward facilitating access to work for people with disabilities, while ensuring those who are unable to work receive a living wage.

Canada’s New Working Class

Canada’s New Working Class offers leaders a contemporary, modern understanding of the 6.5 million Canadians who are in the working class. One key finding is that members of Canada’s working class are as likely to be women or recent immigrants in sales or service jobs as they are to be men doing blue-collar, mostly unionized, manufacturing work. Canada's New Working Class busts stereotypes and outlines a true, inclusive working-class agenda.
