The province unveiled its climate change strategy on Monday and to no one's surprise it does not include a carbon tax. For months, Premier Brad Wall and his Saskatchewan Party MLAs have been at odds with any federally implemented carbon tax. The minister said this "third-way" plan is, in his opinion, better than a carbon tax or cap-and-trade and goes further than other jurisdictions. When asked if the flexible plan has elements of a carbon tax, Duncan said, "No, I will say this, we are not taxing people." Sproule, like McKenna said what the province proposes isn't a a carbon tax by definition but is a form of carbon pricing.
