REGINA — The Saskatchewan government has introduced legislation that would allow the province to control its oil and gas exports, similar to a bill recently tabled in Alberta. Energy Minister Bronwyn Eyre said the lone difference is that Saskatchewan has a sunset clause in place until Jan. 31, 2019. “There is a penalty system in place and again, it’s identical to the Alberta legislation,” Eyre said. Attorney General David Eby said Monday that the government will review the Saskatchewan law to determine if it discriminates against his province. “We’ve reviewed the Alberta legislation and if it’s based on that legislation it’s as unconstitutional in Saskatchewan as it is in Alberta,” he said.
