Carbon price rebates rise as much as 17 per cent in April as price itself goes up

Canadian families will get between $760 and $2,160 in carbon price rebates this year as the carbon price itself gets hiked another $15 per tonne. The price increase will add another 3.3 cents to a litre of gasoline and about 2.9 cents to a cubic metre of natural gas. Most families will see a bigger rebate as a result $64 more every three months in Alberta, and $36 more in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
