Please be advised that due to technical issues being experienced by various banking institutions, individuals and businesses may experience a delay in receiving their payments from the Provincial Government today. Specifically, recipients of income support and teachers’ payroll may be impacted.

Government has been advised that most recipients should receive their payments throughout the day as the banks resolve the matter. The province is continuing to work with its bank, CIBC, to resolve the matter in an expedited manner.

Government recognizes the inconvenience this may cause and is therefore making every effort to ensure all payments are made as scheduled.
