The strategy includes a commitment to consult with the public about poverty and poverty initiatives every two years, with 2010 being a consultation year. Budget 2010 included $134 million dollars to support more than 80 ongoing initiatives under the strategy that are designed to prevent, reduce, and alleviate poverty for individuals and families throughout the province.
