But Ralph Goodale, the Liberals' only MP in Saskatchewan before the writ was dropped for the Oct. 14 vote, said the figure cited by the government doesn't include any of the offsetting personal taxes that are included in the Green Shift plan, which the Liberals calculate as more than $1,300 for the average family.
"They have totally ignored the benefit side of the equation," he said. "You can't make the most favourable assumptions for the Conservative government and the most unfavourable for the Green Shift."
What about the about the increased cost of products and services as a result of new taxes at the manufacturing level, Ralph? What about the fact that that very little collected by this new tax would actually be utilized to stop greenhouse gas emissions, rather than to fund pet Liberal projects to solidify support in the 905?
You really don't want to get into a "what they omitted" discussion. Liberals are the very worst at art of transparency.
