Veterans and reservists exiting the Canadian military who are moving on to the next chapter of their lives now have an opportunity to get recognition of their service and have it applied as credit for placement towards a certificate, diploma or degree at Sask Polytech. A memorandum of understanding was signed today between BCIT and Saskatchewan Polytechnic with National Advanced Placement and Prior Learning which means that military experience will be recognized.
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.”
