2022 Pre-Budget Submission Standing Committee on Finance

  1. Home
  2. News

CASW welcomes the opportunity to participate in the 2022 pre-budget submission process. We are hopeful this government will take the opportunity presented by the COVID-19 pandemic to set a bold course for the future. 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

That the federal government:  

  1. Launch 3 basic income pilot projects – northern, rural, and urban – with a view to the eventual implementation of a Universal Basic Income Guarantee to ensure Canadians thrive in a post-pandemic/endemic economy.   

  1. Table and expedite a Mental Health and Substance Use Health Care For All Parity Act.  

  1. Introduce student loan forgiveness for social workers that practice in rural and remote communities to increase equitable care, decrease wait times, attract, and retain social workers in these communities.   

  1. Fund a nation-wide Child Welfare Caseload Study 

  1. Fund a comprehensive social work sector study to understand the workforce, identify gaps, and meet future needs
