A Provincial plan to combat domestic violence contains 19 recommendations including one that will allow police to disclose information about previous violent behaviour. Justice Minister Don Morgan says approximately $19.5 million is being provided to community-based organizations across Saskatchewan to deliver violence support services and prevention programming. Morgan says it is the government’s hope to have the bill passed by the end of the year. The NDP’s Nicole Sarauer credits the panel for the hard work they put in to the final report, but says government action on the issue doesn’t go far enough. She says funding for crisis shelters who have endless waiting lists haven’t been increased.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
