Tim Hudak calls for ‘individual employment plan’ for welfare recipients
Able-bodied people who have been on welfare for long periods should see their cheques shrink to give them a stronger motivation to find jobs, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak says in a new policy paper.
“We want to decrease the incentives to remain on welfare, so they should see their benefits steadily decline,” Hudak said Thursday in the 22-page document.
If elected in a race that could come as early as this spring, Hudak said the Tories would consult with experts in the field on when to start scaling benefits and by how much.
