Scott Moe has pledged the province will not send Ottawa the money it collects from the federal carbon price on natural gas
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe on Wednesday that the Canada Revenue Agency is “very, very good” at getting the money it’s owed.
The Saskatchewan government said that’s unfair and politically motivated because the exemption has an outsized impact in Atlantic Canada, where oil is the main fuel source for home heating. Trudeau has rebuffed calls for such a meeting and challenged premiers to come up with their own climate plans if they don’t like the federal carbon price, pointing to British Columbia and Quebec as examples of provinces with their own system.
“CRA is an independent organization that is very, very good at getting money it is owed from Canadians, from businesses and now from provinces, if it has to,” he said.He also took a shot at Moe for his “ideological opposition to fighting climate change” and accused the federal Conservatives of stalling a bill that would increase the rural top-up to the carbon rebate for ideological reasons.
