Ottawa says deal reached with Saskatchewan on carbon levy money owed
The federal government says it has reached an agreement with Saskatchewan over the province not paying carbon levy money to Ottawa, though the case may still end up in court.
National Revenue Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Tuesday the deal secures 50 per cent of what Saskatchewan owes until the dispute is resolved.
She said the agreement complies with the law and standard practices.
“Our government remains committed to upholding this significant legislation that propels us towards a more sustainable future and pledges to be fair to all Canadians by providing the full Canada Carbon Rebate where the federal backstop system applies,” Bibeau said in a statement.
