Premier Moe is set to attend meetings in Washington, D.C., this week with senators, members of Congress and three senior members of the White House while towards the end month, he’ll be heading to South Dakota for the Western Governors Conference from June 25th to 27th. As for Meili, he plans to be busy travelling to rural Saskatchewan, hearing what residents have to say and he’s hoping the party will win the byelection Regina Northeast. Meili says winning the byelection in Regina Northeast could be the start of something big for the NDP.

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.”
