Not really sure if I support this bill anyway, but question regarding section two: would it not be more fair to proportion the credits among the regions based directly upon their total carbon emissions rather than employed population? Some region might, say, have a higher concentration of high polluting industries and would be forced to reduce at greater rates than other regions.

Abstain. It's a fine bill but I don't see why the current tax system isn't sufficient.
