We calculate the total amount collected, which was $100 million for the first year. Now we have to determine how to redistribute that money, the basic principle being equitable redistribution that does not affect the price signal. It is similar to the approach used for the carbon incentive, where money is returned to families simply on a per capita basis. We do not try to determine whether a family has actually paid a lot of carbon tax.
It is a similar principle. The idea is not to provide an exact credit, which an exemption would have done. Had that been the case, the exemption would have been more effective than a credit. It is simply a different approach.
We recognize that this returns money to the sector, without affecting the price signal. On the other hand, one of the consequences is that certain farms will not receive what they paid and others will receive more.
