"As stated in the Poverty Reduction Act, the Market Basket Measure (MBM) is now Canada's Official Poverty Line. This discussion paper describes the proposed methodology for a new Northern Market Basket Measure (MBM-N) for Yukon and the Northwest Territories, as well as identifies potential avenues of research in preparation for the next comprehensive review of the MBM, which is expected to occur in 2023. The paper also presents initial MBM-N thresholds and provides preliminary poverty estimates for reference years 2018 and 2019. A review period will follow the release of this paper, during which time Statistics Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) will welcome feedback from interested parties and work with experts, stakeholders, indigenous organizations, federal, provincial and territorial officials to validate the results"--Page 3.
