New federal governments support programs include dental care payments for children of uninsured parents, a doubling of the existing GST rebate and a one-time increase in rental support.
The federal government has announced a $4.6-billion package to help millions of Canadians struggling with decades-high inflation.
Tuesday’s package more than doubles the initial budget commitment, with a promise to deliver a one-time payment of $500 to Canadian renters with an adjusted net income below $35,000 for families, or below $20,000 for individuals who pay at least 30 per cent of their income on rent. Families making less than $70,000 per year would be eligible for an annual $650 per child; families earning between $70,000 and $79,000 would receive an annual $390; and families earning between $80,000 and $89,999 would receive an annual $260.
