Saskatchewan green lights uranium mine expansion in Cluff Lake
Saskatchewan approves expansion of the Cluff Lake uranium project subject to strict environmental and worker safety conditions. The Bayda inquiry recommended a northern development board and royalty sharing, but the NDP government rejected those proposals while promising further study. The plan envisions 13 years of provincial royalties totaling 1.5 to 3 billion dollars with enhanced monitoring and coordinated federal provincial oversight.

Parizeau proposes direct Quebec rebates on federal tax cuts
Quebec Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau said Ottawa should reimburse Quebec $186 million tied to sales tax cuts via direct rebates. He outlined two paths, including a 1977 $85 credit on income taxes or a 1978 federal tax reduction, while demanding $40 million in compensation and interest if delayed. He rejected the rival plan to return $226 million in 1978 as a flat $100 rebate, arguing it benefits fewer Quebecers and blocks direct transfers.
