Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister is hinting at a potential breakthrough with the federal government on a carbon tax.

Pallister says federal and provincial senior officials have been in consistent contact over the last few weeks.

He says the province is willing to talk about a new price, and he's waiting to see what the federal position is in the near future.Pallister's Progressive Conservative government originally planned a $25-per-tonne carbon tax, but the federal government said that was not high enough and implemented its own in Manitoba and three other provinces.

Pallister says he is arguing for any carbon tax to be flat, unlike the federal one which is set to rise each year until 2022. Pallister was coy when asked whether Manitobans will see a new carbon price in the upcoming provincial budget -- saying they might, but that speculating on the contents of a budget would be wrong.

Does he realize he is dealing with the trudeau virus.

Listen to me BrianPallister - NO CarbonTax - It doesn't work.

As the premier of Manitoba that's within his jurisdiction. He shouldn't feel like he has to though. The federal government cannot impose a carbon tax constitutionally.

Even the way PM sits & fumbles with his jacket & can't keep his hands still. Even that split second shows how inadequate he is as a politician & leader🙄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦

That's conservatives for you. They're liberal party 2 after all

So you want to sell your sole and make a deal with devil ?

With what job do you want us to make money to pay for it?
