Contract for Tire Recycling

Kim Breckner: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We’ve seen the first signs of winter and with that, thousands of people are purchasing winter tires in an affordability crisis. To make matters worse, Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan is hiking the fee charged on every tire because of this decision — on every tire by 30 per cent — which this government signed off on. All of this was brought on by stripping Shercom of the tire recycling contract and handing it to an out-of-province company charging much more.

Can the minister tell this House how much in total this change will cost Saskatchewan drivers?

Hon. Travis Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan is an industry-led board. They are tasked with keeping tires out of landfill at the request of many municipalities across Saskatchewan. They are tasked with the responsibility to see tires recycled in the province of Saskatchewan, Mr. Speaker. They are also tasked with the handling of all of the fees and jurisdiction with that.

All of these questions should be handled by the Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
