Canadian TDI goodwill package?

Bikebits

Ready to race!
It seems TDI owners in the US are already getting their $1k "goodwill" packages from VW.

All I've gotten from VW Canada is a letter saying they're working on a solution to the problem. Anybody here heard of anything similar to what they're getting in the US?

Got an email about this this evening, apparently we can get it starting December 7th. Similar to the US one:

$1000 (of which $500 can be spent outside of a dealership) and 3-year unlimited km roadside assistance.

The way read it, seems to be limited to owners of affected models, not lessees.

Since I just got my car in August, the Roadside Assistance add-on is useless since the car comes with 4 years anyway. Too bad they didn't offer something better for 2015s, but i guess I'm nitpicking.
