Statistics Canada: From 2010 to 2011, the number of low-income Nova Scotians decreased by about 7,000 people, according to Statistics Canada, according to The Chronicle Herald. We dont measure poverty, we measure low income, Murphy said and Nova Scotia is seeing a decline in the number of residents with low income. Brian Murphy, a special adviser at Statistics Canada, says it is important to recognize that this measure of low income is not an indication of poverty. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
