Financial Form Sponsor parents Qs

Hi guys,
Sorry for the probably dumb questions but I really have troubles completing the financial evaluation form for sponsoring parents (I know it is not yet updated – but I want to get ready):

I was in a common law relation in 2013, 2014, 2015 and now in 2016 we are not anymore. So technically the size of my part is me, my daughter, and my parents that I want to sponsor = 4. She is not anymore my common law, but this is only starting 2016.

1) Q8 asks the minimum necessary income to sponsor. If I look in the federal Table I find different minimum incomes for all years so which one do I out here? Also for what size of the family? Should I consider 4 or 5, as we were 5 in 2013 and 2014 and even 2015. I guess the answer should be 4, but then which is the minimum income necessary? In the table is given for each of these years, do I take the max?
2) In Q15 the Gross income means line 150 from the NOA?
3) Also in Q15, there is a column with family size, what is that in my case? Now I am 4, as I told you but in 2013, 2014 and 2015 I was 5. What should I put?
4) Q16 the hard one: In NOA in each year I have line 150 so this is clear. But I cannot see anywhere a specific line with respect to the following lines asked in the form:
b. Provinical allowance for an instruction or training program
c. Social assistance from a province
d. Financial assistance from the Government ....
e. Amounts paid to you under the the EIA other then special benefits
f. Monthly quaranteed income supplemental

I have no freaking idea what these are. I do have a job, I pay taxes and did not receive (at least to my knowledge) any of the above. I am not sure what part e. means. I was in a parental leave in 2014, so I guess I received some money but are these included in Line 150? I cannot find any of these in my NOA, are there any specific lines in NOA that I have to look at?
Thanks a lot
Andrei

1) Your family size is 4. The minimum income increases each year and you need to meet the specified income each year (e.g. for 2013, you need to meet the minimum income specified for 2013 - for 2014 you need to meet the 2014 amount, etc.).
2) Yes - use line 150 from your return.
3) 4
4) Just use line 150 from your return.

Thanks Scylla, yes my family size is 4. But question 8 ask the minimum income necessary,and there only one box to complete. However there are three years where the minimum income changes, so what do I use here?
