What the crackdown on coal might mean for Saskatchewan
Ottawa announced this week it’s stepping up efforts to eliminate coal-fired electricity.
The goal is to have 90 per cent of the country’s electricity coming from sustainable sources by the year 2030.
Robin Campbell, the president of the Coal Association of Canada, said the move will curtail investment and have a big impact on jobs.
Roughly 42,000 people across the country are currently? employed by the coal industry.
