Saskatchewan’s justice minister says carbon case likely headed to Supreme Court
REGINA — Saskatchewan’s attorney general says he has no doubt the province’s constitutional challenge of Ottawa’s imposition of a carbon tax will end up in the Supreme Court of Canada.
Don Morgan notes both the province and Canada have the right to appeal a ruling from the Saskatchewan Appeal Court, which is to hear two days of arguments starting Wednesday.
Morgan said the provincial government will urge Ottawa to hold off on imposing the levy while the issue is before the courts, but will not seek an injunction to stop it.
