Premier Scott Moe told reporters his province would not collect the carbon tax to protest Ottawa only exempting heating oil from the levy last October. His ministers are prepared to spend time in 'carbon jail' in pursuit of fair treatment.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault wants decisive action against the carbon tax dodgers in Saskatchewan, but their government could care less — even with the prospects of serving jail time.

Premier Scott Moe told reporters last week his province would not collect the carbon tax on natural gas to protest Ottawa only exempting heating oil from the levy last October.

He had until February 29 to submit the tax revenues owed to the federal government, but refused to waver in his quest for fairness between the provinces.
