Ontario warns of regulation on driving, living, under federal carbon tax

The Ontario government says Ottawa’s plan to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions could lead to the regulation of “all human activity,” including how people drive or where they live, as the province’s lawyers pursue a court challenge of the federal carbon tax.

He said the province’s constitutional challenge to the federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act centres around determining where federal powers end when it comes to the cumulative effects of climate change. “It’s a choice of having a national solution, or no solution, because without a national solution, an individual province or provinces are free to do whatever they want," Justice Robert Sharpe said.

The federal Liberal government, which is due to make submissions on Tuesday, insists its law is an appropriate response to the nationally important issue of climate change. In a statement, federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said it’s “disappointing” that Ontario chose to “spend millions of taxpayers’ dollars fighting climate change action in court.
