Groceries & essentials are straining lower income household budgets. The new CGEB could reach 12M Canadians.Who qualifies? How much will people receive? Who will benefit the most? @GillianPetit & @yass_shaimaa break it down in their new IRPP commentary: irpp.org/research-studies/ca…
We’re launching the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit. That’s going to put hundreds of dollars more into the bank accounts of over twelve million Canadians, starting this year. We’re building a stronger economy, and some of the biggest payoffs will take time to be felt. So we’re making sure people have the support they need right now.
