Shercom Industries, a Saskatchewan business that used to handle tire recycling in the province, lost their contract to an American firm in May of 2023.

The Saskatchewan NDP is questioning the Sask. Party’s involvement with a U.S. rubber recycling company that now holds a contract held by a Saskatchewan business.

Shercom Industries, a Saskatchewan business that used to handle tire recycling in the province, lost its contract to an American firm in May of 2023. “It looks even more strange when we look in the lobbyist registry and see that Kevin Doherty was hired by this American company to lobby the Premier in the year leading up to the announcement. The Premier has a lot of explaining to do.”The NDP says Shercom was forced to shut down its processing plant and lay off more than 60 workers after the contract was lost.

NDP MLA Meara Conway said this is another example of the Sask. Party helping out its inner circle. She outlined the contracts awarded to Canadian Surgical Solutions in Calgary for knee and hip surgeries, as well as mammograms as other examples.
