The child tax benefit has gotten way out of hand.  Baby bonuses were introduced decades ago to help feed and clothe kids from poor families.  Now couples making 6 figures are getting hundreds of dollars a month, paid for by people who (in a lot of cases) make a lot less.  This should only be given to people who don't have enough money to properly feed their kids.  My sister has 3 kids and uses the entire child tax benefit to put into RESP's for the kids because she doesn't need the money.  Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for a "child tax benefit" to pay for things like investments.
