I would agree with you when it comes to income-tested programs like the Canada child tax benefit and the GST credit. I don't agree with you when it comes to the other two federal child benefits that were brought back: the universal child care benefit and the non-refundable child care credit. Those are not geared-to-income programs. They go to all families who receive them.... They have some inequities built into them. The amount of money you end up with varies from one province to another.
Our argument is that we want a single program, geared to income, that provides its largest benefit to low-income families and then a gradual benefit to higher-income families.
