Title CLIFF - The Great Debate Day / Time Friday, June 23rd / 08:30 - 10:30 Room MR17 Event Description Controversy, disagreement, questioning and passion can all be expected at Homeless International's second CLIFF debate. At the first debate in Barcelona, speakers dramatically changed sides halfway through and the packed audience participated volubly. In Vancouver, we expect even more engagement as we debate the motion "This house believes the urban poor cannot afford to work in formal partnership with the state and with the private sector”. Slum dwellers, NGOs, bankers and government officials will all be there to state their positions. The audience will have their say and vote to accept or reject the motion.
