Legislation was introduced in the Provincial Legislature recently to support Prairie Resilience: A Made-in-Saskatchewan Climate Change Strategy.

The province’s made-in-Saskatchewan climate change strategy is designed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for changing conditions, and protect people and communities through resilience and readiness.

NDP Ag Critic Yens Pedersen says the Prairie Resilience Plan is a whole lot of wishful thinking without a lot of detail.

“You can understand why the Federal Government might say that’s not good enough. We look at it and say it’s not good enough. You know I don’t think Scott Moe is doing Saskatchewan people any favors by tilting at windmills and charging off on a lawsuit that’s not going to accomplish much. His job as Premier and head of the government is to actually come up with a plan that works for our Province and we think he’s dropped the ball on that.”

In addition to performance standards and compliance options, the province’s Prairie Resilience Climate Change Strategy requires large emitters to register with the province.

Environment Minister Dustin Duncan says its designed to curb greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for changing conditions.
