Global Food Security and Federal Energy Policies

The Assembly was debating the following motion moved by Warren Kaeding (Sask Party - Melville-Saltcoats):

That this Assembly supports Saskatchewan’s role as a global leader in sustainable agriculture and global food security by opposing federal policies that will inhibit the province’s ability to produce food, fuel, and fertilizer such as, but not limited to, the carbon tax, the clean fuel standard, Bill C-69, the clean electricity standard, and the 30 per cent fertilizer emission reduction target.

Hon. Mr. McLeod: — Mr. Deputy Speaker, that opposition continues to run down this province, our hard-working citizens, and all the progress that this government has made and continues to make. We now have a federal government standing in the way of that progress, attacking our agricultural producers and our energy sector with their senseless mandates and policies.

To the member from Saskatoon Meewasin: will you stand today and denounce the federal government’s proposed fertilizer emissions cap and the carbon tax, and acknowledge the drastic negative impact those have on our people and on our resource sectors?

Mr. Teed: — Mr. Speaker, the answer is yes. Thank you.
