If they argued for some counterbalancing arrangement with the money raised they were probably on the left if they just said "well, I guess we just have to stick with what we currently do, it's not like government intervention would be desirable here" then they were probably not actually on the left.

The initial proposal was for the carbon tax to be revenue-neutral and (IIRC) returned as a per-capita rebate. That didn't pass, so the followup used the revenue for social programs as an attempt at bipartisanship. The followup also failed to pass, though.
