The Federal government is sitting on $2.5 billion in carbon tax revenue that has been collected since 2019 with promises to return it to small businesses, as a small part of what they have paid. Despite the fact that small businesses in all sectors in affected provinces have been paying it for 5 years, the feds are still designing programs to return it to a handful of sectors only (emissions-intensive & trade-exposed. With other green programs in full scandal, I have little confidence this will be done properly. The $2.5 billion should be immediately returned to all small businesses paying the tax through a simple rebate or tax reduction. Or hey, how about using it to cover another year extension to #CEBA loans?
