Flat line the underground economy with a flat tax!
Dear elected officials
I think this could be a way to generate more tax revenue while promoting a better business enviroment.

PS:
Very disappointed in your lack of long term solutions to the high heating costs solution. Sounds more llike conditioning and vote buying than a real long term solution.
In essence all you are doing is rewarding the oil companies for their gouging practices?
What happens next year and every year there after?
PEI at least has a bit of vision by promoting long term savings by subsidizing programmable thermostats 35$. Used for all heating sources I might add. That and compact floresant light bulbs (2$ each 13 watts gives 60 watts of light. I've had these bulbs for 10 years now still going strong) to save energy vis a vi costs and promote Kyoto.
A great test site for a program like this would be all of the communities using diesel generators. You could also save face from your initial blunder by going this route for the diesel generated electric communities.
Coniferous trees on the north and deciduous trees on the south. Like the program Manitoba has for tree shelter.
An added bonus to programmable thermostats is it will free up more energy for business's during working hours. Like the program Cape breton has where by energy works like the phone bills lower rate for off peak hours.
Sincerely
