Preamble
Whereas: Our history with the First Nations peoples has been one of exploitation, dismissive attitudes and greed;
Whereas: Saskatchewan has vast untouched natural resources such as fossil fuels, rare earth metals, uranium, metals, potash, and more;
Whereas: the extraction of these resources often causes environmental damage due to underfunded checks and balances;
Whereas: Ontario has a successful resource revenue sharing agreement with its First Nations that is the envy of others across the country;
Whereas: our First Nations have a history of maintaining harmony with the Earth and are invested in environmental health
Direction
Be It Resolved That: a Saskatchewan Progress Party government will match or exceed tax incentive regimes currently provided to the potash industry for Rare Earth Elements and other minerals to ensure Saskatchewan’s mining industry grows.
