“We know this won’t cover all the bills, but it will take some of the pressure off for families who need it most right now,” he said.
The first round of credit went out to residents in January. The provincial government says 85 per cent of people in B.C. automatically received part or all of the credit through the Canada Revenue Agency. About half will get the full credit.Article contentFor example, an individual with an income up to $36,901 will get the full credit of $164 per adult and $41 per child. The credit will be indexed up to an annual income of $79,376, and those above the maximum will not get a credit.
The province also topped up the B.C. Family Benefit payments in January, with matching payments expected this month and March. That benefit will be up to $58.33 per child each month depending on income level. A family with two children will receive up to $350 in total.
Won't help
More NDP bs like the renters grant.

Don't throw little crumbs! Instead, make housing more affordable for locals who have worked & lived here for years. As premier, if you don't know how? Here are a few steps: ban foreign dirty money in the housing market, ban arbnb, and stop treating housing as a stock market.
Does the BCNDP have any idea what causes inflation? Distrusting cash is the problem, not the solution. Get some professional advice.
What about helping taxpayer’s
His tax credits cost those paying taxes more. He's a communist, make no mistake. This unelected tyrant will buy votes from people who have nothing to lose because they can't pay more.
There is an election coming. To many goodies

He better raise the levels as middle income earners cannot find affordable rentals without roommates in a 1 bedroom. Food costs are up 30-40%. Rentals up 60- 90% in the past 3 years. Housing costs doubled in 6 years. Not affordable for those born and raised in the lower mainland.
