Yes, because the carbon tax was abolished.
Does it happen often that money is paid out before it is collected through a program?
There is a loss, since dollars were overpaid.
Why has Quebec not received its fair share? Obviously, that is because the carbon tax did not apply in Quebec. However, the Liberal government gave every province and territory except Quebec and British Columbia a gift of $2 billion. Quebeckers paid, on an equivalence basis, $814 million for an election goody to eight provinces and territories without that money being collected in advance.
Do you think that is fair?
