11 groups urge
welfare boost

WaA COALITION of B.C.

Prganizations has urged the
federal and provincial gov-
ernments to almost double
welfare rates to bring reci-
pients up to the national
poverty level.

Calling present welfare
rates ‘‘unjust, immoral and
a disgrace’’, the groups

called on the governments to
redirect spending to those in

need of social assistance.

‘“‘In a province where
$00,000 people are receiving
either unemployment §in-
surance or welfare and face
no realistic possibility of
employment, it is cruel and
inhuman to further condemn
them to a live at one half the
poverty level,’ said
Solidarity spokesman Cliff
Stainsby.
