Income Support Policy Review
"The Bathurst Mandate calls for a review of the Income Support program
within five years. In meeting this, the Minister of Education, in early 2000,
appointed an Income Support Policy Review Panel to undertake public discussions
with citizens across the territory."
- Brief description of the context of the review, along with links to the Panel's

Exemptions
for working income support clients increased starting July 1, 2002
News Release
"IQALUIT, Nunavut (June
26, 2002) - Education Minister Peter Kilabuk today announced the government has
increased the exemption level for the amount of money that can be earned before
there are deductions from income support. Effective July 1, 2002, the earned income
exemption for working families on income support increases to $400 per month and
for
single people to $200. The old rates were $300 for families and $150 for individuals.
'In
response to the community consultations we conducted on the income support program,
we felt that the exemption levels did not reflect the needs in Nunavut,'said Minister
Kilabuk. The new exemption levels will continue to encourage people on income
support to seek and keep jobs.
'These increases are a part of the work we
are undertaking in reshaping the income support program to meet the needs and
concerns of Nunavummiut,' said Minister Kilabuk. Other improvements include a
greater focus on training opportunities for income support recipients and transition
benefits for those returning to work."

Nunavut
unveils 'prudent' $1.3B budget
March 8, 2010
Nunavut Finance Minister Keith Peterson has tabled a budget that aims to balance
the territory's books. Tabling the 2010-11 budget Monday in Iqaluit, Peterson
said he's presented a "prudent" balanced budget in light of a $44-million
deficit that's projected for this fiscal year. The latest
deficit figure is up $15 million from the government's previous projections,
due in part to $8 million the government spent last year to combat the H1N1
influenza pandemic, Peterson said.
