By Newsroom May 21, 2018 | 7:53 AM

The premiers of Canada’s western provinces are holding a get together.

Scott Moe, Rachel Notley and John Horgan, as well as the premiers of the Northwest Territories and Yukon, are meeting in Yellowknife for the 2018 Western Premiers Conference.

One of the big issues likely to be discussed is the Trans Mountain pipeline project, something Moe says he’s happy to speak on.

“I look forward to the discussion. I’m thankful we live in a nation where we can sit down and actually have the discussion. While you know at times disagreeing but having the discussion on how we can advance the, the economic opportunities here in Canada, also advance the uh… opportunities that we have to continue producing, extracting, mining, uh… manufacturing the products here in our nation.”

Moe says engaging conversations, both good and difficult, with his fellow western premiers is important to Canada success.

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.”
