OTTAWA — Social Development Minister Yves Duclos says more than a fifth of Indigenous families living on reserves are missing out on the federal government’s monthly child benefit.
He says that compares to about five per cent of all families.
Duclos says the numbers are a concern, despite being an improvement on the system the Canada Child Benefit replaced when it was introduced in July 2016.
