But despite the appar- ent demand of the food bank’s services, some com- munity activists are advocat- ing for an end to food banks. The 1999 Alternative Federal Budget (AFB), a document produced by the Canadian Social Justice, is amon those who wish to see fi banks made a thing of the past. “We support the goal of eventually putting food banks out of business in or- der to restore dignity to every single Canadian,” wrote rep- resentatives of the AFB. Sister Joan agrees. “It makes a whole lot of sense for the government to give people enough money to oe a decent lifestyle . . . People lose their self, their dignity, because they have to account for everything,” commented Sister Joan. She added that if people are given the money they need in or- der to meet the basic neces- sities of life, they will be- come productive members of society whose taxes would come back into the system. She also applies this principle to education. “There should be free education in university, but you earn it,” she add . Peo- ple with an education will be- come productive members of society, and their education costs would be paid back through their tax contribu- tions. She also commented that the bills students are graduating with are “scary . . 3 een should] have a lifestyle rather than spend the next twenty years paying back bills.” entre for Policy | > -_ Alternatives (CCPA) and }/ CHOICES: a Coalition for }/ MERWE one campus Feb info Session im Contemplate the future Find a part time job Do another degree Start a great career Procrastinate Graduation is just around the corner, what's your next step? in Canada, there are over 30,000 information technology positions waiting to be filled.
