Ontario’s Premier and MPPs in his Cabinet have the power to end the clawback of the National Child Benefit Supplement from families on social assistance. Ordinary MPPs can also influence their cabinet colleagues. If the Provincial Government knows a lot of people want change, they are more likely to take action. Even a few letters or phone calls can have an impact.
