In this news update, Saskatchewan's Minister of Justice announces the province is filing an injunction against the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The province seeks a judicial review over the CRA's attempt to collect $28 million under the federal carbon tax program. Minister Bronwyn Eyre criticizes Ottawa's exemption of home heating oil, which she says unfairly disadvantages provinces like Saskatchewan that predominantly use natural gas for heating. The legal documents for the lawsuit remain confidential, and Saskatchewan faces a challenging legal battle, needing to prove irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted. The federal government insists on compliance with the carbon tax law, which has been deemed constitutional. No date has been set for the federal court hearing.
