Saskatchewan’s Moe wants carbon tax delayed pending Appeal Court ruling
REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is asking Ottawa to hold off on imposing a carbon tax next month until the province’s Court of Appeal has ruled on its constitutionality.
Saskatchewan is challenging the federal government’s ability to levy such a charge.
It argues Ottawa’s plan is unconstitutional because it does not respect provincial sovereignty and will not be evenly applied across all jurisdictions.
Ottawa argues it can impose the tax on April 1 because climate change is a national issue.
