Changes to Provincial Court fees went into effect on July 1st. User fees are charged for a number of services such as photocopying, processing applications for records, suspensions, or issuing a summons for Small Claims Court. The ministry of Justice completed an extensive review of fees including looking at what fees are charged in other provinces. The Ministry says that, although some fees have been revised over the years, the regulations have not been changed since 1988. Justice Minister Don Morgan says, “The introduction of new fees and changes to existing fees will better reflect the cost of the services being provided.” Payments for court fees can be made in person with cash, debit, cheque, money order or credit card. They can be paid over the phone with a credit card. For more information: www.sasklawcourts.com

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.”
