The Social Assistance Review Advisory Council recommends seven outcomes as a basis for measuring the performance of the system. These outcomes should form the basis for consultations with Ontarians on the development of a set of practical measurements for the new system – metrics – so that they may then be used to monitor the income security system.

1. Social and economic inclusion.
2. Autonomy, responsibility and dignity of recipients.
3. Income for all Ontarians that at least meets a liveable income standard.
4. Human capacity development and its optimal employment to contribute to the economic prosperity of Ontarians.
5. Public and fiscal sustainability.
6. Fairness, equity and transparency.
7. Empowerment of recipients to improve their economic circumstances.
