Income Security: A Roadmap for Change

As such, effecting positive change can only happen through honouring the voices
of urban Indigenous communities, which continue to call for greater access,
equity, transparency and accountability in the income security system While
positive steps have been taken in this Roadmap, ongoing transformational work
and many years of action towards systems change are required
As part of our work, the Urban Indigenous Table on Income Security Reform has
utilized best practices, knowledge and experience from each partnering organization
to best capture the unique needs of Métis and urban Indigenous peoples across
Ontario Many of our recommendations for reform have focussed on the need to
move away from rule-based approaches that focus on surveillance and enforcement
to approaches based on positive interactions, social inclusion and helping people to
achieve improved outcomes We have advocated for urban Indigenous communities
and highlighted how the impacts of the current system and potential reforms need
to be carefully considered We look forward to continuing our work to implement the
transformational change called for in this Roadmap
