Some Upset With the Delay in Implementing Seat Belts on Buses

By Newsroom Jul 29, 2018 | 5:38 AM

Following the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash in April, the federal government considered speeding up new rules that would see all buses get seat belts.

But the final regulation was announced earlier this month and it won’t take effect until September of 2020.

The delayed roll out has some scratching their heads, including Russell Herold, whose 16-year-old son Adam was the youngest to die in the crash.

Herold says he can’t understand why they would delay the implementation.

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.”
