There is a debate over what REVENUE NEUTRAL means. The NDP claims that spending new money makes it revenue neutral. Most everyone else, thinks revenue neutral thinks raising one tax will reduce another.
Alberta's Carbon Tax is NOT revenue neutral. Revenue Neutral means you don't bring in any more money... you are just changing the way you collect it. This is a net new tax by any technical standard.
