Participants in training programs sponsored by the federal government who have young children requiring care are eligible for dependent care allowances of up to $20 per day. The rate does not vary across Canada. While the rate does not reflect the actual cost of care, the income supplement gives families the flexibility to make local arrangements. 1, record 1, English, - Dependent%20Care%20Allowances

Les personnes qui ont de jeunes enfants et participent à un programme de formation parrainé par le gouvernement fédéral peuvent recevoir une allocation allant jusqu'à 20 $ par jour pour en assurer la garde. L'allocation est fixe pour l'ensemble du Canada. Bien qu'il ne reflète pas le coût réel des services, ce supplément de revenu laisse une plus grande marge de manœuvre aux familles, leur permettant de prendre des dispositions localement. 1, record 1, French, - Allocations%20pour%20la%20garde%20des%20personnes%20%C3%A0%20charge

Building Independence is a series of unique programs that help low-income people find jobs and enhance supports to stay employed. Since the initiative’s introduction in 1997, 41 per cent fewer families depend on social assistance. During this time, the province has seen a reduction of 6,800 families and almost 15,000 children relying on social assistance. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in after-tax disposable income for families working for minimum wage and the lowest social assistance caseload since 1991. 2, record 2, English, - Building%20Independence

Building Independence consists of four programs-the Saskatchewan Employment Supplement(SES), the Saskatchewan Child Benefit(SCB), Family Health Benefits(FHB) and the Provincial Training Allowance(PTA). These programs help families enter and stay in the work force by directly addressing barriers to employment. Launched in July 1998, Building Independence represents the most significant change to Saskatchewan's income security programs in 35 years. Three of the four Building Independence programs are part of the NCB initiative. 3, record 2, English, - Building%20Independence

L'initiative Building Independence comprend quatre programmes - le Saskatchewan Employment Supplement (SES), la Saskatchewan Child Benefit (SCB), les Family Health Benefits (FHB) et la Provincial Training Allowance (PTA). Il s'agit de programmes qui aident les familles à s'intégrer à la population active et à y demeurer en réduisant les obstacles à l'emploi. Créé en juillet 1998, Building Independence (bâtir son autonomie) constitue le changement le plus important que la province ait apporté à ses programmes de sécurité du revenu en 35 ans. Trois des quatre programmes que regroupe cette initiative s'inscrivent dans le cadre de la PNE. 3, record 2, French, - Building%20Independence
