Clarification on Aug. 30 story about Saskatchewan carbon tax court challenge

REGINA – The Canadian Press reported Aug. 30 that the Supreme Court of Canada had denied Saskatchewan’s request to delay its appeal hearing over the carbon tax.

The story may have left the impression that a tentative Dec. 5 hearing date was moved to Jan. 14 at the request of the province. In fact, the province says the court moved the date to January before the government requested an extension.

The province says the January date is tentative and could also change.
