Minister of Children and Youth Services, Minister Responsible for Women's Issues, and Chair of the Cabinet Committee on Poverty Reduction, Government of Ontario

Deb Matthews

The cabinet committee on poverty reduction has disbanded. When we released the strategy, we moved on to a results table, which I chaired: the Minister of Education, the Minister of Community and Social Services, and the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities. We have two outside members: Michael Mendelson from the Caledon Institute, and Mark Chamberlain who is on the National Council of Welfare and also chairs the Hamilton poverty roundtable.

It would be easier for me to tell you who wasn't on the initial committee.
