[Canada launches $5.5 billion automatic welfare program, millions of low-income groups directly benefit] ⑴ Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday that he will launch an automatic federal welfare program covering more than 5.5 million low-income citizens. ⑵ The program ensures that vulnerable groups automatically receive the subsidies they deserve and can enjoy welfare benefits without going through a complicated application process. ⑶ Carney expects that when the project is fully operational, hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars in welfare funds that were not originally claimed will be distributed in the next few years. ⑷ The Prime Minister also reiterated that the government will make difficult decisions in the budget, suggesting that welfare spending may be balanced through other expenditure adjustments. ⑸ This reform aims to improve the efficiency of the social welfare system and reduce welfare omissions caused by administrative barriers. ⑹ The automatic payment mechanism will significantly improve the cash flow of low-income families and have a potential stimulating effect on the domestic consumer market.
