Written Question 1-20(1): Carbon Tax Revenues and Rebates

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.

What is the total net revenue from carbon pricing in the Northwest Territories since 2019;

What is the total amount of carbon tax rebates remitted to large emitters in the resource sector in the Northwest Territories since 2019;

What is the total amount of carbon tax rebates remitted to Northwest Territories residents through cost of living offset (COLO) payments since 2019;

What is the total amount of carbon tax revenue that has been shared with Northwest Territories communities through grants since 2019; and,

What is the difference in carbon tax rebates between an average household in the Northwest Territories using diesel for home heating and the same household using propane, natural gas, or any other fuel, after the proposed carbon tax exemption for diesel heating fuels is implemented after April 1, 2024?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
