While millions of Canadians will get their federal carbon rebate today, others may have to wait.

Those who did not file their income tax by March 15 will have to wait another 6 to 8 weeks for their return to be assessed before their rebate is issued.

People in this province may notice their payment today is less than what they received in the past due to the pause in the application of the carbon tax on home heating fuel.

The carbon rebate will be issued four times a year—in April, July, October, and January.
