Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe spoke more about his plan to fight a federally-imposed carbon tax on Tuesday in Swift Current.

The Saskatchewan Party's stance is that natural resources fall under provincial jurisdiction, and therefore it is the right of a province to tax them - not the federal government.

Since receiving a legal opinion from constitutional law expert Bryan Schwartz, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister is of the mind the federal government can force a carbon tax on provinces, but provinces can set a lower levy on carbon pricing if it has the same effect.

Manitoba has since set a levy at $25 per tonne that will last through 2022. The federal government wants provinces to increase from $10 to $50 per tonne in that time.

However, Saskatchewan's new premier sees the report differently.

Moe and Gord Wyant, the province’s former attorney general, believe the opinion supports Saskatchewan’s position in a court situation, Moe said.
