The Government of Nunavut (GN) has released the Report on the Review and Reform of Income Assistance and Economic Development.

The report proposes a number of improvements to income assistance and economic development programs and is available on the GN website and through community income assistance offices.

The report and the proposed reforms are based on the ideas and suggestions Nunavummiut provided last fall during community visits.

If you have comments about the proposed reforms, please send them to IncomeAssistanceReform@gov.nu.ca or drop them off at the local income assistance office before August 15, 2016.
