The CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce is pleased to hear a provincial plan has been approved by the federal government to replace the carbon tax on industrial emitters in this province. Prabha Ramaswamy says, “Enabling the expanded use of the Saskatchewan Output-Based Performance Standards (OBPS) Program has been long advocated for by the SCC. ” She notes that businesses are facing increased pressures from inflation, supply chain issues and labour shortages, so this news means being able to remain competitive globally, while taking advantage of incentives to reduce emissions. “Through smart regulatory efforts like this our business community can continue to strengthen its position as a global leader in supplying food fuel and fertilizer.”
