The current government wants to reduce poverty by 25 percent and child poverty by 50 percent by 2024.

The plan also incorporates previously announced policies or investments made since July 2017 that address affordability, access to education and training, inclusive employment opportunities, social inclusion, and supports for family, children and youth.

The government also wants to address bus passes for the disabled as well as other things. Productivity is not mentioned in this context. Nor is dependency or self determination. Opportunity suffers some what as well!
