OTTAWA — Parents can apply with the Canada Revenue Agency starting today to receive the children's dental benefit that the federal Liberals say is intended to provide cost-of-living relief to low-income Canadians but that critics say is a drop in the bucket.
A one-time rental supplement of $500 for low-income households that was also fast-tracked this fall will be available beginning on Dec. 12. At the end of the month, workers who have been continuously employed for at least 30 days will have access to their first three days of paid sick leave, and they will continue to accumulate one day a month after that up to a maximum of 10 days a year.
"This is just the first step," NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said in a statement on Wednesday."We’re going to keep fighting to make sure all Canadians can access comprehensive dental care as part of our health-care system."
