Sask. Heavy Construction Association against carbon tax
The heavy construction industry has voiced their opposition to the liberal government’s planned carbon tax.
The tax was announced earlier this month and has received criticism from the Saskatchewan government.
President of the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association, Shantell Lipp, is concerned about the timing of the proposed tax and is saying there are not a lot of options for environmentally friendly alternatives at the moment.
“A lot of our guys, their operations are running on diesel, they’re running on propane, there’s not a lot of extra options out there for our industry,” Lipp said.
