The Department of Finance with The Government of Canada has new proposed measures to help families prosper.
In the Budget of 2006, the government introduced the Universal Child care Benefit, which provides all families with $100 per month for each child under the age of 6.
The Government is enhancing the Universal Child Care Benefit by providing $160 per month for each child under the age of 6, and introducing a new benefit of $60 per month for children ages 6 through 17.
Enhanced payments would take effect as of January 2015, and would begin to be reflected in monthly payments to recipients in July 2015.
