Sask. court’s carbon tax decision expected Friday

Apr 30, 2019 | 5:06 PM

Saskatchewan’s Court of Appeal is to render its decision Friday into the province’s challenge of the federal government’s carbon tax.

Saskatchewan has questioned the constitutionality of the tax, which came into effect April 1. The province’s case was heard by Saskatchewan’s top court in February.

Two other provinces — Ontario and Manitoba — have joined Saskatchewan in launching court cases challenging the carbon tax. Alberta and New Brunswick also are opponents of the tax.

Saskatchewan, Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick all have refused the Government of Canada’s demands to enact their own carbon levies. As a result, Ottawa imposed its own tax in those provinces.
