NDP to scrap the Pacific Carbon Trust.

If one believes everything one reads in the newspapers;

NDP Leader Adrian Dix would recycle the Pacific Carbon Trust if a New Democrat government is elected on May 14.

Dix made the environmental announcement in a Kamloops park, in the same riding where Liberal Environment Minister Terry Lake is seeking re-election.

The NDP Leader says he would dissolve the Carbon Trust and use some of the carbon tax revenue to fund transit or other green initiatives.

Dix says schools, hospitals and other public institutions have paid tens of millions of dollars in carbon tax levies and the Liberal government has gifted most of that cash to profitable corporations.

I think Dix or the reporter is confusing carbon tax with carbon offsets, but the message regarding the future of the Pacific Carbon Trust is clear.
