The first carbon rebate of 2025 is being paid out Wednesday – although the program’s future is uncertain.

Residents in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Atlantic provinces who filed 2023 taxes will receive the payment.

The rebates are issued quarterly, with upcoming payments in April, July and October.

For a family of four, the first of this year’s four carbon rebate cheques or bank deposits will pay out between $190 in New Brunswick to $280 in Ontario and $450 in Alberta.

The Liberal government claims most Canadians get more money back from the carbon-pricing program than they pay out.
