‘Not enough’: Food Banks respond to federal grocery rebate
The federal government’s new grocery rebate is in the accounts of millions of Canadians as of Wednesday, but many feel it is nowhere near enough.
The payment was promised in the spring budget to help Canadians cope with food inflation.
The Canada Revenue Agency said approximately 11 million Canadians will receive the additional money alongside the regular GST credit payment.
Couples with two children can expect to receive up to an extra $467, single Canadians without children can expect up to an additional $234 and seniors can receive an extra $225 on average.
