Ontario is reiterating its commitment to continue fighting against the federal carbon tax program.

Attorney General Doug Downey met yesterday with his counterparts from Manitoba, Alberta, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan to discuss their legal strategies.

Saskatchewan is appealing a lower court ruling that stated the federal government had the right to impose the tax on such things as gasoline and heating fuels.

Great to meet with Minister Morgan, Minister Schweitzer and Minister Anderson-Mason today in Sask. Ontario is united with our provincial partners in fighting against the Trudeau government's carbon tax. Read my statement here:https://t.co/vRYtyeEw4s pic.twitter.com/dGao4UyWhA
