Ontario to Support Saskatchewan's Carbon Tax Court Challenge
Doug Ford - Premier Ontario

Farmscape for July 19, 2018

The governments of Saskatchewan and Ontario have agreed to work together to stop the federal government from imposing a carbon tax on the people of their provinces.
The Premiers of Ontario and Saskatchewan released a joint statement yesterday following discussions at the summer meeting of the Council of the Federation in Saint Andrews, New Brunswick where they agreed to join forces and use every available tool to challenge the federal government’s authority to arbitrarily impose a carbon tax on the people of Ontario and Saskatchewan.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he and his Saskatchewan counterpart, Premier Scott Moe, are on the same page when it comes to a carbon tax.

Clip-Doug Ford-Premier Ontario:
I was elected on a promise to scrap the carbon tax.
It's a bad tax for families and it's a bad tax for businesses.
I'm here to gather support among my provincial counterparts against the federal carbon tax.
Last night I met Premier Moe and agreed to stand shoulder to shoulder with him on this issue.
I'm pleased to announce that Ontario will join forces with Saskatchewan and use every tool at our disposal to challenge the federal carbon tax.
Ontario will support Saskatchewan in intervening in the reference case it launched with the court of appeal.
This is an important step in the fight against the federal carbon tax.
Our provinces are strongest when we stand together and this will show unity and will send a clear message to the federal government.

The two Premiers agree, carbon taxes make life unaffordable for families and put thousands of jobs at risk and, at a time economic uncertainty, more money needs to be put back into the pockets of families and businesses.
For Farmscape.Ca, I'm Bruce Cochrane.
