There you are, using Smith's talking points instead of the reality of what Tombe said. Tombe did not debunk the fact that revenue would increase, he offered reasons why it might not be as large as the NDP stated. And there is always room to debate the numbers once you agree on the principle of it.

So he was still saying it would bring in an extra billion dollars. Maybe not enough to make up for Kenney flushing $1.5 billing down the toilet.
