CONT

Saskatchewan and British Columbia have decided to restructure their investment system. In these provinces, the allowances payable for children are removed from income assistance and distributed through a separate, income-tested child benefit that is integrated with the federal CCTB [Canada Child Tax Benefit] base benefit and the NCB [National Child Benefit] Supplement. The result is a single cheque that includes both provincial and federal investments.

CONT

The Nunavut payment is combined with the Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits and paid by the Federal Government in a combined cheque.
