Editor’s note: This story will be updated with more information as it becomes availableThe Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of the federal government in its decision on the carbon tax challenge, which was just released.
The majority of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has ruled the act is not unconstitutional in a 3-2 split decision. A minority found the act is wholly unconstitutional During the hearing, 16 groups — governments, environmental organizations and even Alberta’s then-Opposition — intervened in the case. More than three dozen lawyers faced a five-judge panel, pushing the public into an overflow room.
During the arguments, Ottawa attempted to assert its authority over matters of national concern. Canada has long said it’s committed to meeting emission targets under the Paris Accord. It argues a carbon tax — or what it prefers to call carbon pricing — is the most effective way to do it.
Hey SKGov that’s gotta suck! 😂😂
No surprise there
This doesn’t prove that a Carbon Tax is effective all it proves is that the federal government can levy taxes across the country
Supreme Court!
Cuz they took the Manila envelopes
Curious20192 Fuck this.
Interesting. While a temporary victory for Trudeau, a 3-2 split is close to probably going to the supreme court and won't be decided until after the election.
