 The Sask Party Position on the Full Nuclear Cycle:

  Not IF but WHEN

The Sask Party is lying about their plan to build a Nuclear Reactor in Saskatchewan. 

What they Say to thier Convention...

"We’ve set up a nuclear development partnership (the Uranium Development Partnership or UDP), funded by Crown Investments Corporation… The purpose of this particular lobby is not to advise us whether or not we should proceed in the full nuclear cycle. It’s to help us understand how we can best do that."
- Minister Lyle Stewart: November 16, 2008

What they Say in Public...
“The government has made no decision with regard to moving forward with nuclear power generation.”
– CIC Minister Ken Cheveldayoff: November 27, 2008

Bruce Power and the Sask Party

The Sask Party election platform contained no reference to a nuclear reactor beyond “Enterprise Saskatchewan will: Explore and Identify uranium value-added opportunities.” And yet, within just a few short weeks, and scant months after being elected, the Saskatchewan Party government went from being in “very preliminary” discussions with Bruce Power about building a nuclear power plant in Saskatchewan to joining Bruce Power in officially announcing a feasibility study on the matter.

The Sask Party didn’t consult with Saskatchewan people on the issue before getting involved with Bruce Power any more than they consulted with them before meeting with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.

Brad Wall and the Sask Party have not been upfront with the media or the public about their plan for nuclear. Rather than forging blindly ahead with their own agenda the Sask Party should ensure there is a thoughtful and informed public discussion on Saskatchewan’s nuclear future. If nuclear is the right energy option for Saskatchewan the Sask Party should have nothing to hide.
