The provincial government is under fire for a plan to bring workers in from out-of-province to work on the Golden South Wind Energy project south of Assiniboia instead of hiring out-of-work Saskatchewan citizens. NDP Leader Ryan Meili says, “When our Crowns build our power plants, they should build them with our companies and our workers.” Building Trade Executive Director Dion Malakoff agrees. He says it’s hard to understand why we’d let qualified Saskatchewan workers sit at home while people from elsewhere are brought in and put our province at greater risk of COVID-19. Saskatchewan Building Trades says the company building the facility is planning to import workers from Ontario, Quebec and even China.
