To calculate the total amount an individual will pay for a car priced at $32,500, including both GST and PST (where applicable), let's first outline the relevant tax rates for each province:

1. **Alberta**:  
   - GST: 5%  
   - No PST  

2. **Saskatchewan**:  
   - GST: 5%  
   - PST: 6%  

3. **Quebec**:  
   - GST: 5%  
   - PST (called QST in Quebec): 9.975%  

### i. **Alberta**
- GST only:  
  \[
  \text{GST} = 32,500 \times 0.05 = 1,625
  \]
  - **Total**:  
  \[
  \text{Total} = 32,500 + 1,625 = 34,125
  \]

### ii. **Saskatchewan**
- GST:  
  \[
  \text{GST} = 32,500 \times 0.05 = 1,625
  \]
- PST:  
  \[
  \text{PST} = 32,500 \times 0.06 = 1,950
  \]
  - **Total**:  
  \[
  \text{Total} = 32,500 + 1,625 + 1,950 = 36,075
  \]

### iii. **Quebec**
- GST:  
  \[
  \text{GST} = 32,500 \times 0.05 = 1,625
  \]
- PST (QST):  
  The QST is calculated on the total price including GST:  
  \[
  \text{QST} = (32,500 + 1,625) \times 0.09975 = 34,125 \times 0.09975 = 3,406.46
  \]
  - **Total**:  
  \[
  \text{Total} = 32,500 + 1,625 + 3,406.46 = 37,531.46
  \]

### Summary of Totals:
1. **Alberta**: $34,125
2. **Saskatchewan**: $36,075
3. **Quebec**: $37,531.46
