Why Is The Canadian Social Welfare System So Poor?
In Canada nearly four million people depend on the welfare system to support their incomes. Canada is moving towards making direct deposits as opposed to using cheques to make the required disbursements. Several provinces in Canada advocate greater responsibility to be vested locally for the disbursement of funds while several others advocate central disbursement. The different social payment schemes include Old Age Security, Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, Child Tax Benefits, Income Tax Refunds, and Goods and Service Tax Refunds at the Federal level. On the provincial level support offered includes Social Assistance in Newfoundland; Family Benefit and Municipal Social Assistance in Nova Scotia; Financial Assistance in Prince Edward Island; Social Assistance in New Brunswick; Social Assistance in Quebec; Seniors Benefits, Alberta Widows Pension in Alberta; BC benefits in British Columbia etc.
