Pedersen Reprimands Wall Government For Watered Down Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets

"The Saskatchewan Party’s brand new legislation, The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Act (introduced Tuesday) pays only lip service to addressing climate change. The legislation is a baby-step in the right direction but doesn’t even come close to righting the wrong of watering down their greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets or stripping the $320 million Green Futures Fund left by the NDP.

The government has broken its promise to keep the same targets as the last government and instead adopted the weaker federal targets. We should be shooting for a 40% reduction by 2020 which is double what the government has identified."
