Mark Carney kündigt Aufstockungen des GST-Guthabens als Teil der Bemühungen zur Neuausrichtung der inländischen Agenda an

> Carney is set to announce that the quarterly GST payments will increase in July by 25 per cent over the next five years — providing approximately an additional $130 for a low-income single person and $270 for a couple with two kids for the 2026-2027 benefit year.

That is $32.50 and $67.50 per ‚cheque‘. Probably about 1/3rd more than normal. A significant increase to the current rates, even if it might seem like small change to some people who have enough income that they don’t get it at all. Pity it’s not permanent, though.
