Thefts of Cash from Two Educational Institutions

By Steve Chisholm Mar 29, 2018 | 12:15 PM

The Ministry of Advanced Education has tabled two losses with the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.

The report covers the period July 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2017. North West College reports the loss of $11,300 in cash payments. The college reports that it has improved its cash handling controls. A report was filed with the RCMP and, upon completion of the legal process, the college will determine if an insurance claim can be filed.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic reported a loss of $1,545 cash. Payment for merchandise sold disappeared when it was received by people who weren’t financial services staff. No one has been identified. Moose Jaw Police investigated with no charge laid. Sask Polytechnic says it has since revised its customer payment processes.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

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.”
