To the surprise of no one, the cost of living has had a major impact on people's spending habits. For many Canadians, prioritizing savings or seeking financial aid has become essential. The Quebec government offers a range of financial aid programs for low-income residents including a solidarity tax credit, social assistance, and the basic income program, to name a few. Additionally, residents have the option of applying to the provincial Shelter Allowance Program, designed to assist those struggling to cover their rent.
