Canada's Liberal Party Leader Offers Carbon Tax. By Dan Rosenblum, Carbon Tax Center, June 20, 2008. "Canada's Liberal Party Leader Stéphane Dion Thursday dramatically transformed the debate in Canada over how to reduce greenhouse gas emission by proposing a $15.4 billion 'Green Shift' over a four-year period. The proposed revenue-neutral carbon tax shift puts a significant price on carbon and demonstrates the type of leadership that's yet to emerge in the United States. Introducing the carbon tax shift, Dion eloquently explained: 'The Liberal Green Shift is as powerful as it is simple. We will cut taxes on those things we want more of such as income, investment and innovation. And we will shift taxes to what we all want less of: pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and waste. We need to make polluters pay an put every single penny back into the hands of Canadians. The Green Shift Plan will be good for the environment and good for the economy. Good for the planet and good for your wallet'... Dion's message and a detailed description of the Green Shift can be found in the Green Shift Handbook, easily downloaded from the Green Shift web page."
