Good news! Recently, the Liberal Party of Canada and the New Democratic Party reached a new agreement to ensure that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority government remains in power until 2025. The two parties have agreed that the Canadian government will implement a series of pro-people policies over the next three years. This means that Canada, a country already known for its extensive welfare system, may soon see another wave of new benefits.
I. Healthcare Benefits
1. National Dental Care Plan
Canada will launch a brand-new dental care plan, to be implemented in three phases:
2022: Implementation begins for children under 12;
2023: Coverage expands to include those under 18, seniors, and persons with disabilities;
2025: Full implementation.
This plan is a key component of the New Democratic Party's 2021 election platform. The primary beneficiaries are families with an annual income of less than 90,000 CAD and individuals with an annual income of less than 70,000 CAD.
This dental care plan covers expenses including check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, X-rays, cavity repairs, crowns, root canals, and gum disease treatment, as well as dentures and braces for non-cosmetic purposes.
2. National Pharmacare Plan
Pass the "Canada Pharmacare Act" by the end of 2023, and then task the National Drug Agency with developing a national essential medicines formulary and a bulk purchasing plan by the end of 2025.
Canada implements a universal healthcare system, but medical services and pharmaceuticals are separate. The government covers the costs of doctor visits and treatments, including various examinations and hospital stays, while patients must pay out-of-pocket for some prescription drugs. The future national pharmacare plan will adhere to core principles, including ensuring that all Canadian residents have access to the prescription drugs they need, regardless of their financial situation, and that drug coverage remains consistent, no matter where the patient lives.
3. Enacting the "Safe Long-Term Care Act"
There is a need to increase the number of family doctors, nurses, mental health support, and home-based elderly care to ensure that seniors receive the care they deserve, wherever they may be.
II. Housing Benefits
1. Extend the Rapid Housing Initiative for another year, a program designed to create new, affordable housing for vulnerable populations.
2. Focus the Rental Construction Financing Initiative on affordable housing, with the government defining affordable housing as below 80% of the average market price.
3. Continue to roll out the Housing Accelerator Fund.
4. Implement the Canada Housing Benefit, providing a one-time payment of 500 CAD.
III. Child Benefits
By the end of 2022, Canada will introduce an Early Learning and Child Care Act, incorporating the "multi-child care agreements" already signed by both parties into law. This will ensure these agreements have long-term protected funding sources and are prioritized for non-profit and public institutions, thereby providing families with high-quality, affordable child care opportunities.
IV. Employment Benefits
1. 10 days of paid sick leave. Implement the policy providing 10 days of paid sick leave for workers as soon as possible in 2022, and introduce legislation by the end of 2023 to prohibit federally regulated employers from locking out employees or using "replacement workers" during strikes.
2. Create more job opportunities. Establish a Clean Jobs Training Centre in 2022 to ensure workers have opportunities for employment, redeployment, and training. Advance just transition legislation guided by feedback from all parties.
It is not difficult to see that these benefits are truly permeating every aspect of people's lives. In addition, there are a series of benefits regarding the tax system, energy conservation and emission reduction, and advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Canada has long been loved for being a country with a strong national welfare system, and this wave of new benefits maintains the consistent style of Canada as a high-welfare society.
As a traditional major immigration destination, Canada has become the preferred immigration country for many due to its beautiful environment, high-quality education, and generous benefits. In terms of immigration, Canada has shown a positive attitude, strongly welcoming immigrants, including implementing the "Million Immigration Plan" to significantly expand Canada's immigration quotas, establishing more visa centers, and lowering immigration thresholds as much as possible. In February of this year, Canada released the 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan, with plans to welcome a total of 1,329,700 immigrants over the next three years. Friends who want to immigrate to Canada can seize this policy dividend period and get on board as soon as possible.
