I guess I'd start by questioning the issue of whether or not carbon pricing must be revenue neutral.
I think governments make choices about how to spend tax monies all the time; that's part of the fundamental reason we elect governments. I'm a co-founder of the Ecofiscal Commission, so I believe in everything it's done. I think there are a lot of strong economic arguments for taking carbon tax revenues and reinvesting them in tax cuts. Probably if I were elected, I'd put a lot of the revenues toward that.
When government reinvests in the economy, whether it be in clean infrastructure, public transit that lowers the cost for people to get around, home energy incentives that lower people's fuel and heating costs for their homes, incentives for companies to invest in clean technology and increase their profitability, those are all investments in the economy, too. Those are all investments that can actually reap economic rewards. In fact, your government is making a massive investment in infrastructure on that very same argument, that building the physical and technology platform for the future is a really smart investment in the economy.
I think there is a strong argument for tax cuts. If you look at the modelling we've done at Ecofiscal, for example, reinvesting the revenue in technology incentives, both for businesses and homeowners, you see it generates almost the same positive economic outcomes as reinvesting it in income tax cuts.
