Dion's 'Greenshift'

Carbon tax plan 'good for the wallet,' Dion pledges
Last Updated: Thursday, June 19, 2008 | 12:39 PM ET

Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion revealed details of his party's $15.4-billion carbon tax plan Thursday, a proposal he pledged to be revenue neutral by offsetting the higher costs for burning fossil fuels with broad-based tax cuts.

“We’ll cut taxes on those things we all want more of — income, investment and innovation — and we will shift those taxes on things we want less of — pollution, greenhouse gas emission and waste," Dion said in a campaign-style speech.

Our plan will be good for the environment and good for the economy — good for the planet, good for the wallet."
