A THRIVING ECONOMY
A Saskatchewan Green Party government would implement “true” or “full-cost” accounting, whereby products and services are priced according to the positive or negative impacts they cause throughout their life cycle. It will end subsidies to highly profitable industries such as oil and gas, and shift funding to encourage the creation and growth of small businesses and rural value-adding industries.
We will encourage the growing and processing of hemp products such as rope, paper and cloth to create new rural investment opportunities. The Saskatchewan Green Party will work to re-establish efficient railways in order to reduce the wear and tear on our road system caused by oversized trucks using under-engineered roads.
