Premier Moe defends Sask. carbon tax court challenge
The Saskatchewan government looks forward to its court challenge against the carbon tax after the federal government submitted it’s reasoning in defence of putting a price on pollution.
In written arguments filed this week, Ottawa argued it has the power to impose a carbon tax on Saskatchewan because climate change is of national concern.
Premier Scott Moe believes that will be a losing argument.
“The case that we’ve put forward stands,” Moe said. “We feel we’ll be successful in that case, that’s why we put it forward in the first place.”
