@Kavvy, regarding JT's plan vs. SH's plan

JT's is to impose collection, but not to dictate redistribution - so the provinces get to choose what to do with their jurisdiction's part of the collected taxes. There is no act of parliament yet so we haven't really seen what their import/export plans are, nor the fine details of what happens if a province is non-compliant.

SH's stated plan was regulation on large emitters (which is more expensive per GHG unit reduced as we're seeing with the Enmax coal deal), but in practice, his plan was to do nothing and let the provinces deal with it if they wanted to.
