The YCL-LJC rejects the narrow limitations for the CESB (Canadian Emergency Student Benefit) and expresses the urgent necessity to include all students without confining them to poverty. While students can finally access their own emergency plan the CESB does not address the fundamental problems with the condition of students. We also reject the need to provide documentation to be constantly looking for work that pays poverty wages in unsafe conditions to receive such benefit while still trying to balance commitments to studies.
