The proposed Liberal plan would cap welfare at two years in five for those deemed employable with first deadlines April 1. Official estimates on how many will lose benefits or become homeless are secret, prompting criticism that numbers and outcomes remain hidden while 29,000 potential beneficiaries may be affected.
The piece critiques Liberal welfare reforms with two year limits in British Columbia drawing attention to job placement spending of 75 million and 10 000 positions but warns of hardship amid a nine percent unemployment rate and 200 000 job seekers. It notes exemptions for disabilities and young children and calls for clearer public disclosure of job sources and who will be affected. Footnote claims 20 000 moved from work to welfare in 28 months raising questions about future impact.
