Contract for Tire Recycling

Aleana Young: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I walked that shop floor. I shook hands with those workers who are going to be fired before Christmas. Good, hard-working Saskatchewan people, refugees from Ukraine working in that factory.

Now, Mr. Speaker, this is a Saskatchewan company that received a promise from that Premier, a promise that they claim was broken. And now they’re suing this government for $10 million. And what do we see from this Sask Party government? Well we see the same old same old doubling down on their failures and refusing to listen. This is the Premier’s broken promise.

December 2nd is in six days, and the clock is ticking. What is this government going to do to save those jobs and help those 79 Saskatchewan families?

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Mr. Speaker, as I’m sure as the member opposite understands, we can’t speak to the independent operation or decisions made by corporations who are privately operated. As the minister responsible has indicated, Mr. Speaker, this is a matter that’s presently before the courts. And it would be inappropriate to be discussing it on the floor of this Assembly, as the members opposite ought to know. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
