Justin Trudeau says residents in Saskatchewan will continue to get carbon rebates while the province says it’s not worried by the prime minister’s push to get the Canada Revenue Agency to collect money owed.
The Saskatchewan government decided earlier this year not to remit the federal carbon price on natural gas to Ottawa, a move that breaks federal law.
Trudeau said Tuesday in Saskatoon that the Canada Revenue Agency has mechanisms to collect the money from the province.
“We’re going to continue to deliver the Canada carbon rebate to families right across to Saskatchewan, despite the fact that Premier Moe is not sending that money to Ottawa right now,” Trudeau told reporters at an unrelated news conference.
