In this webinar recording, members of the [National Advisory Council on Poverty](https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/poverty-reduction/national-advisory-council/members.html) converse with [Vibrant Communities Calgary](https://enoughforall.ca/)’s Policy and Research Specialist, Lee Stevens, to discuss what they heard in their pan-Canadian tour talking to people from across the country.

The speakers on this panel explore:

- what they’ve learned about the state of poverty in Canada;
- the widening inequality gap; and
- why the five recommendations put forward in their new report, [Understanding Systems: The 2021 report of the National Advisory Council on Poverty](https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/poverty-reduction/national-advisory-council/reports/2021-annual.html), are the most high-impact as we look forward to a just COVID-19 recovery for all.
