为加拿大民众减轻今年生活负担 Making life more affordable for Canadians this year

🔊 朗读

加拿大人正在感受到生活成本的上升，特别是食品价格和租金的上涨。虽然通货膨胀是一 个全球性的挑战——这场通货膨胀由 COVID-19 疫情大流行和俄罗斯对乌克兰的非法和 无理入侵造成——但我们正在帮助民众家庭抵御这一通胀的冲击，努力在今年将更多的收 入放回中产阶层以及那些努力工作试图加入中产之人们的口袋里。 9 月 13 日，贾斯廷·特鲁多总理宣布：联邦政府在即将举行的议会会期中所引入的第一 批立法将让最需要帮助的加拿大人生活更易于负担。 

这些新法案中的措施包括：

· 将商品和服务税抵免（GSTC）增加一倍，为期六个月，此举将支持大约 1100 万 接受税务抵免的个人和家庭，包括大约一半的加拿大育儿家庭和一半以上的加拿大 老年人。今年，没有孩子的单身加拿大人将获得最高 234 元的新增收入，有两个 孩子的夫妇将获得最高 467 元的新增收入。老年人将平均获得额外的 225 元。 

· 从今年开始，向没有牙科保险的 12 岁以下儿童提供“加拿大牙科补助”

（Canada Dental Benefit）。在未来两年内，将为每个儿童提供总额最高 1,300

加元的直接付款（每年最多 650 加元），用于牙科护理服务。这是政府为收入低 于 90,000 元的家庭提供牙科保险计划的第一阶段，将使 12 岁以下的儿童获得所 需要的牙科护理，与此同时我们将制定一个全面的全国牙科护理计划。 

· 为“加拿大住房补助”（Canada Housing Benefit）提供一次补贴，向 180 万因 住房成本而拮据的加拿大租房者提供 500 加元。这比我们《2022 年预算》的承诺 增加了一倍多，惠及的加拿大人比最初承诺的多一倍。这项新的一次性联邦补贴将是对目前由各省和地区共同资助和提供的加拿大住房补助的补充。联邦补贴将提供 给租金占收入的至少 30%，且调整后净收入（adjusted net income）低于 35,000加元的家庭，或低于 20,000 加元的个人。 

这些措施立足于我们自 2015 年以来所采取之强有力行动的基础上，目的在于让生活更易 于负担，并打造一个适合所有加拿大人的经济。从为中产减税并为最富有 1%的人加税， 到提供“加拿大儿童福利金”（Canada Child Benefit）并将其每年调升、继续把更多的 钱放回九成育儿家庭的口袋中，到今年年底前为全国各地家庭将规范的托儿服务费用平均 削减一半，我们在兑现落实服务，支持中产阶层以及那些努力工作试图加入中产之人士。 

引述 

加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）总理： 

“从帮助民众家庭支付房租，到确保人们能负担得起他们需要的牙医护理，再到让数百元 回到加拿大人的口袋中，这一系列新措施将在最需要的时候支持最需要的家庭。在我们进 入新一期议会会期之际，我们正在努力工作，继续为中产阶层和那些努力工作试图加入中 产的人们落实成果。”

Making life more affordable for Canadians this year

September 13, 2022 St. Andrews, New Brunswick Prime Minister’s Office

Canadians are feeling the rising cost of living, particularly through higher food prices and rent. While inflation is a global challenge – caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine – we are helping families weather its impacts by working to put more money back in the pockets of the middle class and those working hard to join it this year. The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that the government’s first pieces of legislation introduced in the upcoming Parliamentary sitting would make life more affordable for Canadians who need it most. The measures in these bills would:

· Double the Goods and Services Tax Credit (GSTC) for six months, delivering support to roughly 11 million individuals and families who receive the tax credit, including about half of Canadian families with children, and more than half of Canadian seniors. Single Canadians without children would receive up to an extra $234 and couples with two children would receive up to an extra $467 in their pockets this year. Seniors would receive an extra $225 on average.

· Provide a Canada Dental Benefit to children under 12 who do not have access to dental insurance, starting this year. Direct payments totalling up to $1,300 per child over the next two years (up to $650 per year) would be provided for dental care services. This is the first stage of the government’s plan to deliver dental coverage for families with income under $90,000, and will allow children under 12 to get the dental care they need while we develop a comprehensive national dental care program.

· Provide a one-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit to deliver $500 to 1.8 million Canadian renters who are struggling with the cost of housing. This more than doubles our Budget 2022 commitment, reaching twice as many Canadians as initially promised. This new one-time federal benefit will be in addition to the Canada Housing Benefit currently co-funded and delivered by provinces and territories. The federal benefit will be available to applicants with an adjusted net income below $35,000 for families, or below $20,000 for individuals, who pay at least 30 per cent of their income on rent. These measures build on the strong action we have been taking since 2015 to make life more affordable and build an economy that works for all Canadians. From cutting taxes for the middle class and raising them on the wealthiest one per cent, to delivering a Canada Child Benefit and raising it every year to continue putting more money back in the pockets of nine out of 10 families with children, to cutting regulated child care fees in half on average by the end of this year for families across the country, we are delivering support for the middle class and those working hard to join it.

Quote 

“From helping families pay rent to making sure people can afford the dental care they need and putting hundreds of dollars back in the pockets of Canadians, this suite of new measures will support families who need it the most, when they need it the most. As we head into a new Parliamentary sitting, we are working hard to continue delivering results for the middle class and those working hard to join it.” The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Quick Facts 

· This targeted support package totals more than $4.5 billion, of which $3.1 billion is in addition to funding previously allocated in Budget 2022.

· Doubling the Goods and Services Tax Credit for six months will provide $2.5 billion in relief for Canadians who need it most.

· The Canada Dental Benefit would deliver over $900 million to support dental health, starting in 2022-23. The Canada Dental Benefit for uninsured children under the age of 12 is the first stage of the government’s plan to deliver dental care for families with income under $90,000 who do not have access to dental insurance. The Canada Dental Benefit would provide direct payments to eligible applicants totalling up to $650 per year per child for dental care services for applicants with a family income under $70,000, $390 for those with a family income of $70,000 to $79,999, and $260 for those with a family income of $80,000 to $89,999. Parents or guardians of eligible children would need to apply to access payments.

· A new national dental program is under development, with the goal of expanding dental coverage to under 18-year-olds, seniors, and persons living with a disability in 2023, with full implementation for all families with incomes under $90,000 by 2025.

· The $500 payment for renters doubles our commitment made in Budget 2022, providing $1.2 billion in relief for 1.8 million eligible Canadians.

· In addition to today’s announcement, the following measures will support Canadians this year:

o Enhancing the Canada Workers Benefit at a cost of $1.7 billion in new support for an estimated three million low-income workers this year, with a couple receiving up to $2,400 more this year, and single workers receiving up to $1,200 more. Most recipients first received this additional support through their 2021 tax refund.

o Cutting regulated child care fees in half on average for families in Canada by the end of this year.

o A 10 per cent increase to the Old Age Security (OAS) pension for seniors 75 years and older, which began in July 2022, and will provide more than $800 in new support to full pensioners over the first year, and increase the number of beneficiaries by more than three million seniors.

o Providing more support for students by doubling the Canada Student Grant amount until July 2023 and by waiving interest on Canada Student Loans through to March 2023.

· Here’s how we will make life more affordable for Canadians this year:

o A couple in Ontario with an income of $45,000 and a child in daycare could receive about an additional $7,800 above existing benefits this fiscal year.

o A single recent graduate, living in Alberta, with an entry-level job and an income of $24,000 could receive an approximate additional $1,300 in new and enhanced benefits.

o A senior with a disability in Quebec could benefit from over $2,500 more this year than she received last year.

· Canada has the lowest total government deficit in the G7 this year, and by far the lowest net debt burden among these countries (32.1 per cent of GDP versus an average of 97.5 per cent of GDP for the group as a whole).

· The International Monetary Fund and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development predict that the Canadian economy will see the strongest growth in the G7 this year and next.
