OTTAWA — Canadians who pay the federal carbon price got a midsummer money drop today with the first half of their annual"climate action incentive" payment deposited into their bank accounts.
It is the first time the carbon price cash is being sent quarterly instead of in a single lump sum hidden in tax rebates as the federal government seeks to make the payments more visible. That confusion was even evident as Trudeau visited a family in a planned photo op in an Ottawa suburb Friday afternoon.
The amounts vary by province based on the estimated carbon levy consumers will pay this year, with the annual payments for a family of four hitting $745 in Ontario, $832 in Manitoba, $1,079 in Alberta and $1,101 in Saskatchewan.
