He promises Edmonton and Calgary would each receive $300 million a year.

The money would come from a new carbon levy based on actual emissions.

The Liberals say the levy would bring in $1.8 billion in new revenues for the province.

Half would go to municipalities, while the other half would be returned to polluters to encourage them to invest in green technology.
