Construction bidding MHCA protest Saskatchewan

The undertaking comes following a letter sent, with follow-up, to Manitoba`s minister of Growth, Enterprise and Trade this summer by the MHCA, protesting restrictive trade practices in Saskatchewan by SaskPower and by the Highways and Infrastructure Department there. SaskPower had recently tendered contracts that restricted bids to companies within provinces that have signed the New West Partnership agreement. It excluded Manitoba in that list, although Manitoba became a full signatory to the NWP agreement earlier this year.
