If it were me, I would rebate the carbon tax as broad personal tax reductions (with a small rebate for those who don't pay provincial tax), and broad corporate tax reductions. This is what BC did and their experience has been a success.
That would actually be economically efficient, would encourage efficiency and would be cheap to implement (i.e. little wasted in government institutions).
What the NDP have planned is an ideologically driven wealth distribution and government growth boondoggle at all levels.
