NDP says 350 SLGA employees are looking at unemployment in January
She said these are profitable stores, but the government is unwilling to update and adapt these businesses.
She said there are workers who don’t know what they are going to do next, and that the government’s decision to move away from retail is a shortsighted one.She said wages are stagnant, and that the province has created fewer jobs in the past decade than P.E.I., which has the same population as Regina.SLGA retails not considered ‘core businesses’ by Saskatchewan government
Global News reached out to the province for a response, and received an audio recording of Lori Carr, minister responsible for SLGA, during Tuesday’s media scrum at the legislature. Carr said the stores will start closing the third week in January, with a slow transition to the end of March.“Right now we’re going through the workplace adjustment plan. I don’t know the specific details of all of that, that’s stuff that happens between the employer and employee, and they’re working through that right now and hopefully have some sort of resolution soon.

More aggressive short-term climate goals needed in aviation sector, say NDP, climate activistsEmissions reduction targets for the aviation sector laid out in the Liberal government’s climate action plan don’t go far enough, according to the NDP transport critic and climate activists, who want to see more aggressive short-term goals set for the end of the decade. “I think, given the severity of the climate problem and the imperatives that we drive down emissions, that [the action plan] represents a real lack of ambition,” said NDP MP Taylor Bachrach (Skeena-Bulkley Valley, B.C.). “I think the government needs to show real leadership and not just encourage the industry to do certain things, but to set stringent goals and milestones that the industry needs to meet … and that’s something I think we’re seeing lacking in the plan.” Transport Minister Omar Alghabra (Mississauga Centre, Ont.) released the federal Liberal government’s aviation climate action plan on Sept. 27, which set a target of net-zero emissions for Canada’s aviation sector by 2050. The plan identifies development of greener technologies as an essential part of reducing emissions, and states the federal government will continue to support innovation in the aerospace sector. The action plan states the National Research Council will work with Transport Canada to support the development of the required standards and test methodologies for certification of new low-emission aircraft technologies. The action plan also set a goal for the aviation industry to source 10 per cent of all jet fuel from sustainable sources by 2030. Sustainable aviation fuel is biofuel created from waste products, which can potentially reduce emissions by 80 per cent compared to traditional jet fuel. Despite the plan’s 2030 target, Bachrach said his concern is that most of the dramatic emission reduction actions are concentrated closer to 2050.
