I believe this issue was raised by the Canada Revenue Agency in its application of the program where it asked.... There is a rule that says you can be treated as a child of an individual in the tax act if that individual is, among other conditions, not the biological parent but you, the child, are wholly dependent on them. The question that was raised was whether a child can be considered to be wholly dependent upon an individual when the individual is receiving these amounts under these kinship programs for the care and maintenance of the child. An interpretive question arose about whether or not the child is wholly dependent in those circumstances. It was raised by the Canada Revenue Agency and the correct answer, of course, is that, yes, a child can still be considered to be wholly dependent upon the adult in the kinship programs, even if they're receiving amounts under these provincial programs.
