A look back at the October, 2007, Vision Green document reveals just how much Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion borrowed from the Greens to come up with his carbon-tax plan, which he released in June.*
Whereas the Greens promised a “Green tax shift,” Mr. Dion labelled his plan the “Green Shift.” Mr. Dion also repeatedly uses a version of a sentence that appears in the Green Party document: “The Green Party will reduce taxes on things we all want, like income and employment, and we will increase taxes on things we do not want - things that harm people and our environment.”
Mr. Dion has also copied the Green Party's plan to direct carbon-tax revenue toward measures aimed at reducing poverty.
