"The corporate responsibility for making those emissions often lies outside of Saskatchewan, with coal companies headquartered in Toronto, or with oil companies headquartered in Alberta. So in fact the burden for paying for those emissions will fall outside of Saskatchewan, because the tax liability is outside of Saskatchewan. But the tax benefits flow back to individual Saskatchewan people."
Funny, I just went through the Coal Association of Canada membership list and found the following;
- Head Offices listed in ON - 7
- Head Offices listed in PQ - 2
- Head Offices listed in NS - 2
- Head Offices in the US - 5
- Head Offices listed in BC - 33
- Head Offices listed in AB - 29
The Green Shift plan is as blatant an attack on the West as has ever has been devised by the Liberal Party of Canada.
By the way Ralph, as goes Alberta, so goes Saskatchewan.
The idea of appealing to a constituency that would enjoy tax cuts, while others experienced the pain of this carbon tax plan is not only misleading, but it flies in the face of Saskatchewan values.
How dare Goodale imply that we would relish benefiting at others misfortunes!
That is a Liberal Party value, NOT a Saskatchewan value.
