That's right, not the UCCB. If you add that with welfare, it's very low. Let's say if you have two children, as I was saying, with the new child benefit program, the $310 only gives to parents who earn more than $20,000, so obviously the single mom on welfare won't get that $310 child tax benefit, the new one. Neither would she, because she's not working, get the worker's income credit, the new WITB--there it is, I keep remembering. She won't get that, either.
So she has a really terrible choice. She can stay home and live in poverty, and by the time she's finished paying rent, there might not be enough money for food for her kids, so she may end up relying on a food bank. We know that 40% of the people who use food banks are kids, in fact.
Let's say she's a nurse. She could go back to work, but she's at home right now, with her kids, on welfare.
