Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, an outspoken critic of Liberal climate-change policy, lashed out Monday at Justin Trudeau for "unilaterally" imposing a carbon price on provinces and territories. Before the federal-provincial talks in Montreal were over, at least three environment ministers had left early in protest, including Nova Scotia's Margaret Miller, Newfoundland and Labrador's Perry Trimper and Scott Moe of Saskatchewan. It came as provincial environment ministers were meeting in Montreal with federal counterpart Catherine McKenna to hash out an agreement over carbon pricing. Saskatchewan Environment Minister Scott Moe leaves early from a meeting of Canadian environment ministers in Montreal, Monday, Oct.3, 2016. "We have the Conservative party thinking we go too far, we have the NDP thinking we're not going far enough," Trudeau observed.
