Is there any Ombudsman, where I can complain?
Since the rebate is being billed as a rebate on the GST paid, as an incentive to buy a higher efficiency - lower emissions vehicle, I agree that you should be entitled to it. You absolutely complied with the spirit of the program in choosing a more fuel-efficient vehicle. It is supposed to be a rebate on what you actually paid the Canadian govt in taxes, and should have nothing to do with where the money was spent on the actual vehicle.
