Plain-language context

What this reference means

RESP contributions may attract the Canada Education Savings Grant. Eligible beneficiaries from lower- or middle-income families may receive an additional CESG amount.

The Canada Learning Bond is different: no RESP contribution is needed, but eligibility depends on income and other program requirements.
