Government white paper outlines revised income security plan
Highlights show guaranteed monthly income rises for old age pensioners to 255 for couples and 135 for singles next April while base pension begins at 80 monthly next January. Two per cent annual increases removed from old age pensions, tax exemption removed from family allowances renamed to family income security plan, and provincial talks for Canada Pension Plan revisions. Revamped family allowances raise payments for low earners but cut for those over 10 000 yearly, effective September 1 1971. Overall aim to balance affordability with broad benefits rather than universal guaranteed income.
