Money only purpose of Dion's carbon tax: PM

Money only purpose of Dion's carbon tax: PM
The only purpose of Stéphane Dion's carbon-tax plan is to spend taxpayer money and not to reduce Canadians dependency on fossil fuels, Prime Minister Stephen Harper charged Thursday.

In another attack on the Liberal Green Shift proposal, Harper rejected the notion that the plan, which calls for a tax on emissions in order to reduce the use of fossil fuels by Canadian industries and homeowners, will be revenue neutral or temporary.
