The Social Assistance Review Advisory Council recommends that the Ontario Income Security Review be structured with two commissioners and an advisory council. The Review would be supported by a small full-time Secretariat. The Review should develop a five part consultation process: a panel of persons with experience of being on assistance; public and province-wide consultation; separate and substantive discussions with First Nations to ensure reforms reflect their needs and priorities; expert panels; and written input. The Review should be completed within 12-18 months of being constituted.
