Carbon tax rebates a boost for Alberta bank accounts

As part of the federal Climate Action Incentive (CAI), Albertans that are single adults received $269.50 from the Federal Government. This is the first quarterly payment, and each payment after this will be $134.75.
Even if you aren't a single adult you should have noticed a bump. If you have a partner or child, your partner or first child received $135, while every child after that will receive $67.50. This means that if you're a family of 4, you can expect $539.50.
