Are Liberals tampering with the Universal Child Care Benefit

Just rumor at this point, but worth keeping track of.
$1:
The Universal Child Care Benefit is the program brought in by the Conservative government that issues monthly payments to every family with children under the age of 5, amounting to $100 per child per month.
The Liberals, of course, offered a universal daycare program, funded through tax increases, but in all likelihood only available to eligible families based on income.
We receive our benefit by direct deposit, but many Canadians receive their benefit by cheque sent in the mail.
This month, one person is reporting that his envelope was stuffed with partisan Liberal Party material, issued by the office of the leader of the opposition, Stephane Dion.
Allegedly, someone is using the bureaucracy to distribute partisan Liberal pamphlets and to use a government program to target specific Canadians with tailored Liberal Party messaging.
Allegedly, a recipient of the Universal Child Care Benefit cheque found in his envelope, in addition to the cheque itself, a pamphlet from Stephane Dion

As usual, Angry in the Great White North is right on this and I'll post when further details are uncovered.
