The need for gender equality and the importance of female political participation in today’s ever-changing world. These are the two topic being explored tonight [thurs] by Dr. Alaa Murabit. The physician is one of 17 Global Sustainable Development Goal Advocates appointed by the UN Secretary General. Murabit is a champion of women’s participation in peace processes and conflict mediation. She is speaking at the University of Saskatchewan’s Quance Theatre tonight. It starts at seven o’clock.
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.”
