安大略省政府计划在1月底或2月初前向大约1 500万居民发出200美元的回扣支票。 Ontario's government plans to send $200 rebate cheques to around 15 million residents by late January or early February. 30亿美元方案旨在缓解高昂的生活费用,最初是在10月宣布的。 The $3 billion program aims to ease the high cost of living and was initially announced in October. 每个成年纳税人将领取200美元,每名符合条件的子女将额外领取200美元。 Each adult taxpayer will receive $200, with an extra $200 for each eligible child. 这些资金来自省销售税收入的增加和资本收益税的变化。 The funds come from increased provincial sales tax revenue and capital gains tax changes. 批评者认为,回扣分散了对诸如保健和住房等其他问题的注意力。 Critics argue the rebates are a distraction from other issues like healthcare and housing.
