No tax is revenue neutral. Governments want taxes. Taxes are going to increase in general. They always seem to. So whatever tax the lowered to make it "neutral" is going to go back up. For the general increase the new tax is going to be a component.
The follow up question anyone should ask when sold that is "revenue neutral" for how long? At most it will be a year, because taxes in general aren't static longer than a year. So if the promise lasts at most a year, if you'll even believe that, you are opening a door for more taxes every year after that with no promises attached. Are they going to ensure taxes being static for the next 40 years?

If Carney was legit, he'd get rid of the tax instead of temporarily set it to zero.
If Poilievre was legit, he wouldn't have waited until the tax passed before saying, "I'm going to fight this!"
Neither are legit.
