Finance Minister Honours Those Affected By Broncos Bus Crash

By Carol Thomson Apr 10, 2018 | 5:20 PM

Saskatchewan’s Finance Minister tabled the provincial budget in the Legislature on Tuesday, but before she paid tribute to those affected by the tragic bus crash last Friday night.
Donna Harpauer is also the MLA for Humboldt-Watrous.
She says for the past few weeks all she has been thinking about is budget, but then Friday’s fatal crash happened and she has been thinking ever since about the heroic response of the emergency crews and medical personnel, the exemplary leadership of the affected communities, the parents who heard the worst news they ever could, the 15 who perished and the 14 who were injured and the overwhelming support the families have been receiving.
Harpauer says somehow Humboldt will go on because Humboldt is strong.

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.”
