My understanding may be wrong. The Canada child tax benefit, as I understand it, is set to expire as of July 1. I thought it was to be cancelled as of July, as opposed to next year, but I think it's an unfortunate situation. Those taxpayers that are receiving, and have become accustomed to receiving, the Canada child tax benefit now, upon losing it, presumably may have access to the new universal child care benefit or the enhanced universal child care benefit, but it might not be as lucrative as it was previously. I think that's unfortunate, as part of this change, that it could mean a reallocation of moneys from low-income single parents, in particular, who would have received a higher Canada child tax benefit. For people like myself, for example, I've never received the Canada child tax benefit. I'll benefit from the universal child care benefit, but quite frankly, I don't need it and it won't make an impact on my day-to-day life.
