Is the Canada Learning Bond (CLB) included in the maximum RESP grant? 

No, the CLB is not included in this amount.

In fact, the child is entitled to a $7,200 grant, plus a CLB down payment of $500, and, for as long as the child is eligible, $100 per year in subsequent years for 15 years. Thus, the child can benefit from additional amounts of up to $2,000 over the duration of the plan.
