Mr. Speaker, we have provided child benefits since 1946, if I am not mistaken, when the Constitution was amended to allow family allowances in Canada. Therefore, such benefits do come under federal jurisdiction.
We changed the tax credit formula, so that those who do not need such credits do not get them, thus leaving more money for those who need it. This is the system that is in place and that was negotiated a few years ago with all the provinces agreeing.
