The result is in, and the carbon levy will stay in place in Saskatchewan for now.

Yesterday the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled that the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act is not unconstitutional in whole or in part, which means that the carbon tax is here to stay, pending an appeal.

The decision handed down by the court earlier this afternoon was not unanimous.

The tax was voted to be within the constitutional rights of the federal government by three justices presiding over the case, while the remaining two voted that the act was unconstitutional.

The ruling on the February 13-14 appeal hearings means that the April 1 enacted tax will stay in the province.

The Saskatchewan Party’s Twitter account has recently declared that the party will be taking the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada following the decision, looking for a different result.

Linked here is the full 155-page document outlining the ruling.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said in a press conference following the result that the Saskatchewan Government will use all of the tools in their toolbox to fight against the federally imposed tax.

"We have a federal government that has put forward a policy that has resulted in a split decision in this court," Moe said. "It most certainly is of our belief that the people of this province would expect us to take that further, to take it to the Supreme Court of Canada."
