The Common Front for Social Justice is looking for an action plan from the 5 leaders for reducing poverty in the province.
Linda McCaustlin tells CHSJ News she was most impressed the Green party and N-D-P response.
McCaustlin says they want to see the next provincial government, whoever it is, increase the numbers for social assistance and increase minimum wage faster.
She adds those people living on permanent assistance get only 538 dollars a month while those on certified disability make just over 600 dollars a month. The Common Front estimates that 100,000 people in the provnce live in poverty.
