Thank you.
Enhancements to the universal child care benefit are proposed to assist the child care choices of parents or other eligible individuals by providing them with direct financial assistance up to $1,920 for each child under the age of six, and up to $720 for each child six years of age or older but under the age of eighteen.
The amendments to the Universal Child Care Benefit Act from 2006 are being introduced to provide the Minister of Employment and Social Development with the authority to pay parents or other eligible individuals a monthly benefit of $160 for each child under the age of six, and a monthly benefit of $60 for each child six years of age or older but under the age of eighteen.
Thank you.
