Canada’s growth continues to be among the highest in the G7 and unemployment rates are at their lowest level since 1976. Businesses are benefitting, but this economic success has also created new challenges for some employers who have struggled to find enough workers to meet the high demand they are experiencing.

The CCB—which is targeted to middle-class families and those working hard to join the middle class—is simpler, tax free and more generous than previous child benefit programs.
