Somehow we seem to have gotten off track with this effort? 
We take in 10$ a ton tax then hand it to the provinces for general revenue and they use it for whatever the flavour of the day is?. 
The whole idea is to reduce emissions by as much as we possibly can as fast as we can.
Asking the local besuited blowhards to make any real effort on that is not going to work at all. 
We have had this tax in BC for some time now and in spite of taking in millions our total emissions output has increased and God knows where all that money went? but it was not into any solutions or mitigations. 
It is another tax grab cash cow for insiders and the connected! scam artists,of which we have plenty at the trough here in BC.
BC? just takes the money and does nothing useful with it at all and how will this so called "plan" change any of that?. 
We need a National plan for every dime taken in and that money should be restricted to mitigation only and not set up as another cash cow op/hog trough.
