OTTAWA -- Imagine putting $1,500 into a savings account and having the government top that up with $4,500. And imagine that happening every year for several years.

Sound too good to be true? Not for Kalman and Julie Fejes. They are parents of an adult daughter with Down syndrome who is expected to qualify for the maximum in federal grants and bonds for 11 years under a new program being rolled out this month as the latest addition to Canada''s social safety net.
