globeandmail.com: Dion grilled over double taxing carbon

VICTORIA -- Stéphane Dion's so-called Green Shift scheme came under scrutiny yesterday over how British Columbians can avoid being doubly penalized by his environmental plan and their provincial carbon tax.

Mr. Dion was at a town hall meeting at the University of Victoria, giving a loose and sometimes humorous performance as he took questions from students. But a constant concern of British Columbians involves the centrepiece of Mr. Dion's campaign platform, as a tax on fuel at the pumps was brought in July 1.

Mr. Dion had no good answer for the students and reporters, who asked about how the two schemes could be harmonized.
