REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the province is reducing the industrial carbon tax to zero.

He says the move makes Saskatchewan the first “fully carbon tax free” province, saving ratepayers money on their electricity bills.

Moe says the measure will also make businesses more competitive amid tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.

He adds he hopes the next federal government does not impose a backstop to collect levies from Saskatchewan.
