It’s estimated the reindexation of AISH and Income Support will cost taxpayers about $45 million in 2022-23 and $173 million in 2023-24, while adjusting the Alberta Child and Family Benefit will cost about $7 million in 2022-2023 and $35 million in 2023-2024. “This move, which only comes six months before an election, clearly shows this government’s motivation and lack of compassion and understanding of what people have gone through for three devastating years,” said Renaud.
The government’s inflation relief package, expected to cost $2.8 billion over the next three years, includes $600 payouts over six months for each senior and child under the age of 18 in households with a yearly income of less than $180,000, and a continued suspension of the provincial gas tax for at least another six months.Article content
