What no one seems to understand yet is that this is the Liberal government's move to shift the cost of their incompetence from the rate payers to the tax payer.  Furthermore, by not addressing the impact of high electric cost on jobs they are compounding the problem.  Businesses will recognize they are paying twice, once through the rate and again through higher taxes.  Regardless of the harm this policy is going to do it is going to be impossible for the next government to undo this once the liberals are kicked out.
