Senate warned of poverty indifference in Canada
Ottawa reports the Canadian Welfare Council urging the Senate Poverty Committee to change public attitudes toward poverty rather than seek a quick fix. The briefing notes life cycle poverty affects children, workers, and retirees, warns against false cures, and emphasizes public discussion as the committee’s potential achievement. It cites 8.5 million under 19, 1.5 million over 65, and a 1968 decline in old age purchasing power widening the gap with workers.

Languages bill stirs Commons debate in Ottawa
Justice Minister John Turner and PC member Eldon Woolliams clashed over the proposed official languages commissioner. Woolliams warned of unclear powers, while Turner said the role would be administrative with no prosecutorial authority. NDP members showed mixed views as the bill, backed by about 20 amendments, moves toward third reading. The plan designates English and French as official languages and requires services in bilingual districts, with the commissioner empowered to investigate language-right complaints under debate.
