Sask. 'moving forward' with $1.15B Lake Diefenbaker Irrigation Project despite incomplete feasibility study
The government of Saskatchewan says it is “moving forward with constructing” a $1.15-billion irrigation project, despite never completing a feasibility study that was supposed to examine whether it is a good use of public money. That has critics worried that the government may be launching an ill-thought-out mega-project — spending hundreds of millions of dollars to benefit just a handful of farmers.
