University of Ottawa Professor of Law and Economics, Stewart Elgie, explains that the dissenting judges in the Saskatchewan and Ontario carbon tax cases are not disagreeing with the principle that the Federal Government has the right to impose a carbon tax. They are simply indicating the feds need to claim that right under a different section of law.
He also explains that Ontario and Saskatchewan agree that carbon taxes are both effective and the lowest cost method of reducing green house gases like CO2.
