Recommendation 25:
In the interim, reducing criminalization and stigmatization of community members would alleviate further social divides. Instead, we recommend an approach that allows them to thrive that takes an inclusive approach to housing, employment, social security, and access (services, food, other), which would require cooperative action by all levels of government and stakeholders.

Recommendation 3:
In order to support the same gradual and extended transition to adulthood that most young people enjoy, MCFD should implement universal and comprehensive financial support for young people aging out of all types of care and out of Youth Agreements by automatically enrolling them on their 19th birthday in Agreements with Young Adults, unless the young person chooses to opt out. Universal support should continue until the young person’s 27th birthday without restriction, subject to reasonable constraints such as consideration of other income.
MCFD is to have completed policy and planning by April 1, 2022 and have completed full implementation of that plan in the ensuing 18 months.

Recommendation 3:
In order to ensure that all children are granted the right to participate in legal proceedings in Canada, it is critical that all parties take an intersectional approach to understanding children’s rights and needs (Martinson & Raven, 2020a). This means acknowledging the particular nuances of a child’s circumstances and recognising that these may vary on a case-by-case basis. This also requires courts to recognise children’s socio-economic status, gender identity and expression, and differing abilities, amongst other factors (Canadian Coalition on the Rights of Children, 2016; CBA, 2020; Martinson & Raven, 2020a, pp. 22-23). Upholding children’s rights requires the creation of an environment in which all children feel empowered to participate in legal proceedings that affect them, regardless of their circumstances (CBA, 2020).

Recommendation 3:
In line with the Guiding Principles outlined in A High-Level Framework for Joint Action and endorsed by the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Ministers responsible for the Status of Women during their 38th Conference, we are calling on the establishment of formal relationships between WAGE and provincial and territorial non-profit organizations. As key partners within the multi-sectoral approach, these organizations need to be resourced to lead the implementation of the relevant components of the Plan and distribute the funding to smaller community-based organizations and programs through granting that addresses local priorities and needs. Such umbrella organizations are best positioned to ensure the successful implementation of the Plan according to its Guiding Principles in the most impactful and cost-effective way by leveraging their existing networks, relationships, knowledge and expertise.

Recommendation 3:
In light of the prevalence of racist attacks in restaurants, food and grocery establishments, accounting for almost 1/5th of all reported incidents, and the high numbers of Chinese and Asian Canadian essential workers in this sector, specific attention directed towards the protection of workers, operators and customers in these areas is critical.
- Recognize that workers and small businesses in the Chinese and Asian food sector have been impacted doubly: not only by the lockdown measures and economic damage resulting but also from racist attacks and racialized stigmatization of the sector. Provide support to these small businesses and workers in these sectors by ensuring there is robust support and a comprehensive recovery support strategy.
- Equip community, labour and businesses groups from Asian communities with the resources to support local businesses, workers and consumers in responding to racist attacks in these workplaces.
