BILL No. 95
An Act respecting the Management and Reduction of Greenhouse
Gases and Adaptation to Climate Change
http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/english/FirstRead/2009/Bill-95.pdf
Some interesting reading. While never put into force, Brad Wall's government had put into place in 2009 the regulatory structure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and tax excess emissions.
(b)
“carbon compliance priceâ€
means the prescribed price to be paid for
the emission of one tonne of CO2
Wall and taxpayers invested 1.2 billion in carbon capture and storage in an effort to reduce greenhouse gases. This the most expensive option and one that will be paid for by electricity users and taxpayers (another form of a tax). So when Wall says he doesn't really support a carbon tax he is not telling the truth.
He is really playing politics by a saying he doesn't believe in a carbon tax but is really behind the scenes putting together a plan to reduce emissions his way.
