Yeah, when they talk about this rebate back balancing out the carbon tax for middle income families. It balances out gas purchases if you only purchase about 400 liters of gas a year $200/(.45/litre tax) = 444.

So whatever you do, don't buy more then about 10 tanks of gas a year.

On top of it, this doesn't do anything for your power bill.

Oh and to really throw things in our face they're going to hire 247 bureaucrats this year.
