Proposals for a Northern Market Basket Measure and its disposable income / by Burton Gustajtis, Keith Lam and Sarah McDermott.: CS75-0002/2021-1E-PDF
"As stated in the Poverty Reduction Act, the Market Basket Measure (MBM) is now Canada's Official Poverty Line. The Northern Market Basket Measure (MBM-N) is an adaptation of the MBM that reflects life and conditions in two of the territories – Yukon and Northwest Territories. As with the MBM, the MBM-N is comprised of five major components: food, clothing, transportation, shelter and other necessities. The MBM-N is intended to capture the spirit of the existing MBM (i.e., represent a modest, basic standard of living) while accounting for adjustments to the contents of the MBM to reflect life in the North. This discussion paper describes a proposed methodology for the five components found in the MBM-N, as well as its disposable income. This discussion paper also provides an opportunity for feedback and comments on the proposed methodology of the MBM-N"--Page 3.
