Expert Perspective on Benefit Adequacy
“That’s not really substantially helping people afford the basics for their kids,” said Sindu Govindapillai, clinical director at Qupanuaq, an Inuit children support organization, expressing concern over the sufficiency of support for Nunavummiut families.
Benefit Structure
- The Nunavut Child Benefit acts as a top-up to the federal Canada Child Benefit.
- Federal payments provide up to $8,000 annually for children under six, and $6,700 for those aged seven to seventeen.
- Nunavut adds $350 per child per year, provided the child lives at home and is under 18.
This combined support falls short of meeting the essential needs for families in Nunavut.
Author's summary: The Nunavut Child Benefit, combined with territorial supplements, averages under $700 annually, insufficient to cover basic child-related expenses for low-income families.
