Does this help people on SAID? Can a single person with mental health and chronic pain be eligible for the TCDB?
$10-a-day childcare is one of the most meaningful affordability measures we’ve seen in a generation. It’s helping parents return to work, supporting kids, creating good jobs, and saving Saskatchewan families thousands.
Let’s not go backward.

In 2023, the official poverty line for a single adult in Saskatchewan was $27,146 per year while the deep poverty measure was $20,359.
At that time, a person on SAID received an average of $17,148, while a person on SIS averaged $12,955. Therefore, beneficiaries of the programs are not just poor, they are forced to live in deep grinding poverty due to inadequate benefit rates (Maytree).

I only get $15,600 a year 😞
I get 19,200 after taxes and CPP is taken off. This is working full-time at a minimum wage job. I received $800 or less every two weeks. My rent is $1501. I remember paying $913 for a two bedroom in 2023. My rent has increased $588 so there's that issue. Going to have to look for a second job 😕 I can't survive another rental increase. We need rent control not later 😒 we need it now. The housing crisis will get worse a long with the homeless crisis.
and many seniors are at 13,000$ hope they are not forgotten
