Climate and Green Plan Survey

A. Made-in-Manitoba or Made-in-Ottawa

B. Using Carbon Revenue

A carbon price generates new money for government to spend on climate and green priorities. The Made-in-Manitoba carbon levy will raise about $260 million each year. How would you like to see this money spent?

There are three main categories for spending this additional revenue:

Helping Households -This category could see carbon revenue used to lower taxes or provide a direct rebate to families and households to help offset increased fuel and heating costs. This could also be used to help offset the impacts of any hydroelectricity rate increases.

Investing in Green Projects and Clean Growth -This category could see some of the carbon revenue invested into green projects and clean technologies that would reduce emissions, further reductions or help the overall environment.

Adapting to Climate Change -This category could see some of the carbon revenue used to build green infrastructure such as agricultural drainage systems and water retention systems to better deal with extreme weather events.

3. Imagine you have $100 from the carbon levy and you could spend it on the categories listed below.

Please review these categories and note in the space provided how much of the $100 you would spend in each of them. You can spend it all in one category or you can divide the money among the three categories.

a) Helping households b) Investing in green projects and clean growth c) Adapting to climate change Funds Remaining:
