Carbon tax meeting something Sask. premier willing to attend [Video]

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he is willing to attend a televised meeting with his provincial counterparts and Justin Trudeau to discuss impacts of the federal carbon tax and its latest increase.

A Conservative motion is being debated at the House of Commons calling for the meeting.

Moe said he believes it would give Saskatchewan a chance to highlight what the province is doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“This matches very much what seven premiers have asked thus far,” Moe said. “Let’s sit down and talk about what are the actual costs to, in our case, Saskatchewan families and industries that are employing Saskatchewan families of this flawed carbon tax that the federal government has introduced and insists on increasing annually,” Moe added.
