Saskatchewan minister urges oil tax shift to aid industry
Energy Minister Donald Macdonald told Estevan and Weyburn audiences that Saskatchewan should follow Alberta and British Columbia in adjusting royalties to boost the sagging oil sector. He proposed a 50 30 20 split of oil revenue among producing provinces, industry, and Ottawa and noted Ottawa's export tax would adjust with rising domestic prices. The talks came amid reduced drilling activity and industry protests over federal and provincial policies.
