The notion of informal caregiver now has a family connotation. In other words, an informal caregiver must be a blood relative to be entitled to benefits.
I have a bit of a problem with that. In my riding, there is a Canadian legion association where the older people are supported by the younger ones, who act as informal caregivers. Unless I am mistaken, if the informal caregivers are not related by blood to the 90-year-old veterans, they will not be considered as family caregivers? Did I understand correctly?
