Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to go to "hell" with his environment policies..On November 1, the Saskatchewan government introduced the Saskatchewan First Act (SFA) to “confirm Saskatchewan’s autonomy and exclusive jurisdiction over its natural resources.”.On November 3, Moe told the Speaker of the House, "There was an article that was written and I would read the the introductory couple of paragraphs in that article and I'd like to read them into the record.".The article was written by Pipeline Online..“Thou shalt not use coal for power generation post-2030, the federal government hath said. And it’s moving to do the same with natural gas by 2035. On November 1, the Province of Saskatchewan said, 'To hell with that,' but in a more sophisticated, legal manner," Moe said..The SFA amends the Saskatchewan Constitution to assert Saskatchewan’s control and sovereign autonomy under the Canadian Constitution for exclusive jurisdiction over three key areas, such as exploration of non-renewable natural resources, development, conservation, and management of non-renewable natural and forestry resources, and the operation of sites and facilities for the generation and production of electrical energy..Saskatchewan's government said federal government policies are holding back Saskatchewan’s economic success, and the SFA will help protect the province’s economic interests.."But now a fossil fuel phase out by 2035 which is going to make for an awfully cold house in Saskatoon on Jan. 1, 2036," Moe said.."One needs to look no further than the European Union.".Moe told the Speaker about a conglomerate of European countries where there's a very cautionary tale unfolding.."I would say for the rest of the world to observe and it's on full display for the world to observe. The energy costs in the European Union over the last number of years due to enacting these solely environmental focus policies have been skyrocketing," Moe said.."There's a number of countries we see now that are warning about blackouts and they're already advising there's going to be energy rationing as we find our way through these winter months."
