Nova Scotians will be receiving a direct cash rebate, known as the Climate Action Incentive, beginning the week of July 14.
This rebate is paid for with the proceeds of the price on pollution that came into effect in Nova Scotia on July 1 of this year.
In provinces where the federal price on pollution applies, most families receive more from the rebate than they pay in any fuel charges, as a result of the price on pollution.
The price of gas this week, even with the federal fuel charge included, is lower than it was at this time last year.
But this year, Nova Scotians will receive a rebate.
Nova Scotians can expect their first quarterly rebates to be in the amount of:
$248 for a family of four
$124 for the first adult
$62 for a second adult
$31 for each child
Canada's approach to pricing pollution is working. It is putting money in the pockets of Canadian families, helping reduce emissions, and spurring new and innovative solutions that help build a more resilient and environmentally sustainable economy.
