One of the first recommendations I have is based on information I received from a crisis caseworker at Ontario Works. When, let's say, a mother has a child with a disability and needs to resort to OW for support, the staff there has not been trained to help support this family as to what other financial resources are available for disabled children. It's about looking at these different agencies that a mother might be looking to for support, so that they are also trained to give the whole picture of what's available for these families.
Also, the tax credits do not work if a mother is not working, so perhaps a supplemental benefit would really help a lot of these families.
