Saskatchewan leads the country in greenhouse gas emissions per capita, according to a new report published this week by Environment and Climate Change Canada, a dubious distinction provincial Environment Minister Warren Kaeding says is due to an economy heavily based on resources, manufacturing and exports.
"We don't have a lot of people in a province that produces a significant amount of goods and services that are exported or sent out of the province," he said.
