Canada's federal government attempts to seize $28m from Saskatchewan's bank account for unpaid carbon levy, marking the first time such action is taken against a province.
Legal experts describe Canada's attempt to seize $28m from Saskatchewan's bank account for not paying carbon levy money as an unusual and drastic step. It is the first time experts have seen Ottawa attempt to force collection of funds from a province. The move is said to indicate a poor relationship between the federal government and the Saskatchewan government, and a certain level of dysfunction between the two levels of government. The case is set to be argued in court on 11th July.
