This article looks at the changes induced by the Plan d’action gouvernemental pour la solidarité et l’inclusion sociale 2010-2015 on the strategic choices of the Table d’action contre la pauvreté de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue between 2008 and 2015. In the field of poverty reduction and in the case studied, the public reforms that try to steer the collective action of community organizations met with resistance to the model proposed and led to the adoption of new practices through the reconfiguration of the strategic choices of this collective actor. This regional analysis will be put into perspective with other observations made at the provincial level, especially the co-construction of public policies and the resistance to social protection transformations.
