Raise The Rates Mla Chalenge

But we believe in what they are saying and have used this as our description

Raise the rates is a coalition of community groups and organisations
concerned with the level of poverty and homelessness in British Columbia.
In 2002, the provincial government cut welfare rates and introduced
arbitrary barriers that keep people in need from getting help.
Since then, homelessness has at least doubled and BC has more people
living below the poverty line than any other province in Canada.
The recent small welfare increases included in the February 2007 Budget
will make little difference to people’s lives.
