People in Saskatchewan have been paying the federal carbon price on fuel, but Moe's government had rejected that as being a punishing tax that made the province less competitive for business.
He said that Saskatchewan would introduce a carbon price similar to New Brunswick’s that would "provide an immediate rebate right at the pump."
In a letter sent to his provincial counterpart, federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says the federal government is updating its benchmark criteria for carbon pricing.
"Canada has committed to updating its approach to carbon pricing to make it more fair and rigorous," reads the letter, which was shared with The Canadian Press.
