Saskatchewan’s Court of Appeal handed down a 3-2 decision last week citing the Federal Government did have the Constitutional Right to implement the Federal Carbon Tax.

Premier Scott Moe saying he was obviously disappointed in the ruling adding it is only one step in the battle against the Trudeau Carbon Tax.

“This was a split decision, there are two judges on this panel that have indicated that in fact this tax is not constitutional, and there are good grounds for an appeal. We have always said we would entertain the thought of going to the Supreme Court if we were not successful in this decision and we are going to do that most certainly given the split decision that we see before us.”

He notes work is underway on Saskatchewan’s Notice of Appeal.

“We will be doing proudly on behalf of the people of this province. All the while, we’ll be making the efforts as we have been to implement our Prairie Resilience Plan to ensure we are doing right by the environment and we are doing right by climate change with our industries here in Saskatchewan.”

Saskatchewan has 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada.

In the meantime, other provinces have vowed to launch their own legal challenges of the Federal Tax.
