Smith said gas tax cuts don’t always get passed on to customers.
Last week, the province officially changed fuel tax relief regulations to make way for the payments.
Nearly 3.4 million adults are eligible and have until Sept. 2 to apply online.
The government says it expects money to be deposited into bank accounts within two weeks of receiving an application.
