British Columbia's finance minister has pulled out a pair of green shoes to help emphasize that her budget on Tuesday will be a "green" one.
Carole Taylor says she can't think of a topic that has had more pre-budget consultation than climate change. She says without question, people are backing the idea that B.C. should be a leader, not a follower, on climate action.
On the controversial idea of a carbon tax, she says letters to her office ran more than 700 in favour to 130 against.
She says the one thing she knows for sure is that she will be criticized if she brings in a carbon tax, and criticized if she doesn't.
Taylor says beyond any tax measures, the government will be introducing incentives to help people go green.
