Saskatchewan response to the Clean Electricity Regulations: Unaffordable, unconstitutional and unobtainable
The federal plan is expected to cost approximately $40 billion in our province alone from now until 2035. The CER represents another concerning example of federal jurisdictional overreach. Saskatchewan’s electrical grid took 90 years to build. If the draft CER becomes law in 2025, as proposed, we would have to (re)construct over 100 per cent of our publicly owned electrical system in just ten years.
SaskPower response to the Clean Electricity Regulations: “Not possible from technological, financial and logistical perspectives”
However, for SaskPower to comply with the CER, the majority of our company’s current generating capacity of more than 5,400 megawatts (MW) will need to be expanded, replaced, and rebuilt in just over 11 years – which is not possible from technological, financial and logistical perspectives.

Lax Kw’alaams disapprove of Nisga’a’s Ksi Lisims Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) on northern BC coast
As this continued contention regarding the development of West Coast liquefied natural gas goes on, Canada is missing out on a major opportunity. The Panama Canal is currently experiencing its worst drought in 73 years, and shipping in the canal has been reduced from 36 ships a day to 24, and will be further reduced to 18 by Feb. 1. But since no LNG projects have been competed on the BC coast to date, Canada will not be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

Brian Zinchuk: Panama Canal drying up woes could have benefited Canadian LNG, if only we had any
If you haven’t been paying attention (and why would you?), there’s a very serious problem occurring a few thousand miles to the south of us, one that Canada could have taken tremendous advantage of, if only we had built and completed some liquified natural gas (LNG) terminals by now.
With decent oil prices, why aren’t many drilling rigs working? The CAOEC responds
Even though the past year has seen relatively decent oil prices, as high as US$94 per barrel a few weeks ago, Saskatchewan has not seen a related increase in drilling activity.
Indeed, the pronounced lack of a pickup in activity in Saskatchewan was directly cited as a reason why the Day Group of Companies decided to move their Cara Dawn (2019) heavy haul trucking business to North Dakota, to operate under a new name.
