To help make life more affordable for Canadians, the federal government has laid out several new benefits designed to help with the cost of housing, dental care and more. Back in September, the feds proposed new legislation that would double the GST Credit for six months, introduce the Canada Dental Benefit, and top-up the Canada Housing Benefit.
Canadians who are struggling to pay their rent are set to receive a one-time payment from the federal government this year, as part of a wider plan to make life more affordable in Canada. On June 16, the government laid out its Affordability Plan, which it says aims to reduce the impact of inflation on Canadians.
