- Target: Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, Government of Ontario
- Sponsored by: Barbara Anello, DAWN Ontario
Ending the clawback of the National Child Benefit Supplement (NCBS) would make a big difference in the lives of families on social assistance.

Taking $120 a month from children of families on social assistance is wrong. I am asking you to:

- Increase the Canada Child Tax Benefit to $4900 a year.
