Two federal ministers have written Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to protest his plan to bring in a tax on electric vehicles. This provincial tax on electric vehicles does not benefit the climate, consumers or workers, said Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson and Transport Minister Omar Alghabra in the Wednesday letter.
In its most recent budget, Moe s Saskatchewan Party government brought in a $150 yearly tax on electric vehicles. Saskatchewan has said the tax will ensure drivers of those vehicles pay their share to maintain roads, normally funded through gas taxes.
