BC's Premier David Eby delays $1,000 rebates to spring 2023, citing legislative hurdles.

British Columbia's Premier David Eby announced a delay in distributing $1,000 "Eby-bate" rebates to residents until spring 2023 due to legislative and federal hurdles. Initially promised during the Oct. 19 election, the rebates are intended to ease cost of living pressures. The delay has faced criticism from the Opposition Conservatives, who argue it will leave those in need waiting until late 2025. The government is still determining how to distribute the funds, which will be issued as $500 for individuals and $1,000 for households.
