The broad, sweeping and potentially abusive powers under the federal government’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Act was one major reason for a dissenting opinion from two Saskatchewan Court of Appeal judges.
Judges Ralph Ottenbreit and Neal Caldwell said the act was unconstitutional because it would allow the federal government the power to change the act any way it wanted.
The judges noted that the act contained 430 references to the word “prescribed” — the definition of which was so broad and open-ended that it allowed the federal government enormous scope.
