Ahead of the provincial election, Premier Brad Wall says no taxes will be raised in response to Ottawa's plan for a national price on greenhouse gas emissions.

Prime Minister Trudeau will meet the premiers on March 3rd to speak on a carbon pricing plan, with no specific price identified yet to allow for better negotiations among provinces.

Speaking to various media outlets across Canada, Wall says the last thing the energy sector needs is a carbon tax.

"Our government will not be increasing taxes, we have seen relative strength in our economy, the last job numbers showed we created 5200 year over year not withstanding the price drop in oil. We have a diversified economy but there's been 2,000 jobs lost in the energy sector, or the other sectors of the economy still operating well like mining, the last thing they need is a carbon tax."

Many experts and analysts say the minumum price on carbon a tonne would be $15.

Ahead of the First Ministers meeting in Vancouver a deal is not expected to be hammered out from the provincial leaders. Up to this point, no specific dollar figures have been projected or discussed.

The Premier has been been outspoken in his relunctance to sign onto carbon pricing, the most recent from December when the leaders met with Trudeau in France ahead of the Paris climate summit.

During a media scrum Thursday, Ontario Environment Minister Glen Murray called out Saskatchewan on carbon pricing in comparison with Alberta.

"What do you do with something that comes out of Saskatchewan, that has no carbon price on it, versus something that comes out of Alberta? To remove interprovincial trade barriers and to have fair treatment within the Canadian federation.. that [floor price] makes sense," said Murray.

"The last thing we need is an Ontario Minister saying Saskatchewan should level its playing field with other provinces," replied Wall on the Business News Network. "We've worked hard to build the 'Saskatchewan Advantage' based on competitive taxes and regulations and we don't want a level playing field, we want to be the place companies want to invest and create jobs for Saskatchewan families."
