Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe has announced the province will be the “first fully carbon tax–free province in Canada.”
“Now that the two major federal parties and their leaders have announced their plans for removing the carbon tax,” Moe said in a video, “Saskatchewan is taking the next step by reducing the industrial carbon tax rate charged in our province to zero.”
Moe said the move will give consumers a break and make industries more competitive as the United States imposes tariffs on Canada.
“The immediate effect is the removal of the carbon tax on your SaskPower bills,” Moe said. He went on to say removal will save hundreds of dollars a year for consumers and businesses.
