The federal government issued a news release today, essentially to the attention of those living in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta – which are the provinces where the federal carbon pollution pricing system applies.

Those residents, in October, receive the second installment of the quarterly Climate Action Incentive (CAI) payment.

The average family of four in Saskatchewan will receive $275.25.

Canadians in these four provinces who are registered for direct deposits from the Canada Revenue Agency will see these payments in their bank accounts as “Climate Action Incentive” (wording may vary based on financial institution). For those not registered for direct deposit, cheques will be mailed, and the federal government says it should arrive soon.
