Auto-enrol every eligible Canadian in the Canada Workers Benefit. Raise the maximum benefit to $2,500 for individuals and $4,000 for families by 2027, indexed to inflation.
Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars in federal benefits go unclaimed — not because Canadians don't need the money, but because the government makes it too complicated to get it. Since 2009, consistently only 85% of eligible Canadians have claimed the Canada Workers Benefit, leaving an estimated $175 million unclaimed by 240,000 eligible workers in a single year. The CRA already has the income data to determine eligibility automatically. There is no technical reason this requires a 42-step form. There is only a political reason — and we reject it.

Auto-enrolment. The CRA already has the income data it needs to determine CWB eligibility when Canadians file their taxes. We would require the CRA to automatically calculate and issue the CWB to every eligible individual without requiring a separate claim. The CRA piloted this in New Brunswick and found it had a positive impact. We would make it national.
Expand the benefit. We would increase the maximum to $2,500 for individuals and $4,000 for families by 2027, indexed annually to the Consumer Price Index.
Raise the phase-out threshold. Currently the benefit disappears entirely for single individuals earning above $37,742. We would raise this to $45,000 for individuals and $55,000 for families, removing the penalty on earning more.
Auto-enrolment: under $30 million one-time implementation cost. Benefit expansion to $2,500/$4,000: approximately $2.1 billion annually, funded by closing the capital gains exemption on investment income above $250,000.
