Citizens in New Brunswick on Income Assistance lost 3.9% of their purchasing power in 2009. They also did not receive the 2% increase in their basis rate as in 2007 and 2008, so in reality their purchasing power went down 5.9%. How is the NB government new Poverty Reduction Strategy going to address this major loss of revenu when they have not targeted any increase in their 2010-2011 budget for people on Income Assistance?
