Saskatchewan starts tribunal to review Ottawa’s clean electricity regulations

Nov 28, 2023 | 11:07 AM

REGINA — The Saskatchewan government is using its autonomy legislation for the first time to review the federal government’s proposed clean-electricity regulations.

Justice Minister Bronwyn Eyre says she’s implementing the Saskatchewan First Act to establish a tribunal to study the economic effects of the rules.

The regulations would require provinces to work toward an emissions-free electricity grid by 2035. 

Eyre says the tribunal’s members are to submit a report outlining the costs. 

She adds the report could also be used as evidence in court, should the province file an injunction application in the future.
