“Northern Indigenous communities paid the carbon tax on fuel and are still waiting for their refund. When will they get their money back?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, northern indigenous communities paid the Liberal carbon tax when they bought their fuel in bulk. The tax has now been repealed, yet a year later these communities are still waiting for their refund. On what date will these communities receive their money? I would like just the date, please.
