Saskatchewan introduces law to allow control of oil, gas exports
REGINA — The Saskatchewan government has introduced legislation that would allow the province to control its oil and gas exports, similar to a bill recently tabled in Alberta.
Once passed, the law would establish a permitting process for people or corporations looking to export energy products outside the province.
The proposal does not mention British Columbia specifically, but Saskatchewan has said it is supporting Alberta in a dispute with B.C. over the Trans Mountain pipeline.
The expansion of the pipeline to the West Coast has been approved by the federal government, but B.C. is fighting it in the courts.
