Regina-Saskatchewan and the federal government have said they are willing to work together on environmental policy.
Federal Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson says the two levels of government must work together to find ways to ensure progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
The federal government has said it hopes to have a net-zero grid by 2035, but Saskatchewan says Ottawa’s original goal of net-zero grid by 2050 is more realistic. said that it is a target.
Wilkinson was in Saskatchewan today for the launch of a new solar project by Cowesess First Nation. The project will power 2,500 homes annually.
He also met with his state counterpart, Jim Leiter, on the state’s priorities and the Saskatchewan First Act, which seeks to unilaterally amend the constitution to reassert the state’s jurisdiction over natural resources. We talked.
