The budget also imposes a "green levy" on new gas-guzzling passenger vehicles, excluding trucks.

A charge of $1,000 will be levied on Canadians who purchase new vehicles with fuel-efficiency ratings of between 13 and 14 litres per 100 kilometres. The levy will increase by $1,000 for each full litre above the 13-litre benchmark, to a maximum of $4,000.

"It is expected that this measure will increase federal revenues by $110 million in 2007-08 and $105 million in 2008-09," the budget reads.
