40 years ago in Ottawa, Pierre Trudeau took a walk in the snow and decided to step down as Prime Minister.
Yesterday in Ottawa, SaskEnergy Minister Dustin Duncan took a walk in the wind and rain and made an important decision about remitting the carbon tax.
As of today, Saskatchewan Deputy Premier and Finance Minister Donna Harpauer is now the longest-serving female cabinet minister ever in Canada at either the federal or provincial level.
Donna has been and continues to be a valued member of every cabinet since the day the Saskatchewan Party took office in 2007.
On January 1, we’re taking the Trudeau-NDP carbon tax off natural gas for home heating to match the federal exemption for heating oil.
About 30,000 Saskatchewan households, many in northern and First Nations communities, use electricity to heat their homes.
Here’s what we’re doing to ensure fairness for those Saskatchewan families.
The Saskatchewan Premier announced on social media the province will stop collecting the carbon tax for the Feds as of the Jan 1, 2024 unless Ottawa gives Saskatchewan the same carbon tax exemption it just gave Atlantic Canada on their home heating sources.
Trudeau has provided a carbon tax exemption on home heating for families in one part of the country, but not here.
It’s unfair, it’s unacceptable, and here’s what we’re going to do about it.
Saskatchewan’s plan for affordable, reliable power generation may require coal-fired generation beyond 2030.
Steven Guilbeault says that would be illegal.
Here’s my response to that.
Don Morgan today answered his 1000th career question during Question Period. It took him 15 years to reach that mark. He trails Dustin Duncan by 140. Brad Wall faced over 1300 questions as premier.
I'm not going to let that happen.
Our plan will ensure reliable, affordable power for Saskatchewan families and businesses while continuing to reduce emissions.

Today, our government laid out our made-in-Saskatchewan plan for affordable and reliable power generation into the future.
The federal government's standards for zero emissions electrical generation by 2035 are unrealistic and unaffordable.
SaskPower rates would more than double and we may not have enough generation to keep the lights on.
We had an amazing weekend with @SaskDebate. We are immensely proud of our students & volunteers for being a part of this event. Huge shout out goes to our judges from across the community who came out to help us! #wordsmatter
No one should ever be a completely knee-jerk contrarian, but I do think in general you can do a lot of good trying to provoke debate where there’s too much consensus, and trying to establish consensus where there’s too much debate.
