Appeal Court to rule on Saskatchewan's court challenge of federal carbon tax cdnpoli
The Saskatchewan Party government filed a legal challenge of Ottawa's levy that came into effect April 1 in provinces without a carbon price of their own.
Over a two-day hearing in February, Saskatchewan argued that the question isn't one of climate change, but rather the division of power. It argued a carbon tax is unconstitutional because it's not applied evenly across the country and erodes the sovereignty of provincial jurisdiction. The federal government said it has the power to put a price on pollution, because greenhouse gas emissions are a national concern.
Premier Scott Moe believes a carbon tax hurts his province economically and has said he plans to appeal if the court upholds the validity of the tax.
