Do you have a baby bonus in america and canada? Here every new mother is given $3000 upon the birth of each baby. I wonder if it's the same over there.

Here in Canada those with a yearly income of less than a fixed amount (not sure what it is) get a Child Tax Credit that is payed out every month. Over the fixed amount you get a percentage on a sliding scale until the amount is $ 0.

It is based on each child and then you get extra if you have more than two kids.

we get tax allowances for each child too, as well as a family allowance for each child which is paid fortnightly to those under a certain income.

The baby bonus is paid regardless of income. It's to encourage women to have babies. Currently we aren't producing enough babies to replace the people who die. :eek:
