Until 1996, the Canada Assistance Plan Act (CAP) provided for 50/50 federal/provincial cost-sharing of social assistance and related services. It also set some basic requirements for welfare programs. As a condition of receiving CAP payments, provinces were required to: provide financial assistance to any person in need; and provide an amount of assistance consistent with a person’s basic requirements for food, shelter, clothing, fuel and other necessities. 3, record 1, English, - needy%20person
