jan 1, 1921 - Public Charities Act of Quebec

Description:

It was not until 1921 that the Public Charities Act of Quebec became the first social assistance legislation enacted, mandating that the government was required to intervene to help those in need. That requirement, however, only provided limited funding to existing institutions (Guttman & Wright, 2018). [Pg.13]
