  • Mineral Exploration Guidelines for Saskatchewan
    Mineral Exploration 2016 Guidelines for Saskatchewan Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration and Government Advisory Committee 2016 Page 1 INTRODUCTION The Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration and Government Advisory Committee (SMEGAC) has developed the Mineral Exploration Guidelines for Saskatchewan to assist government and industry in the application and approval process for activities on land administered by the Ministry of Environment. The following guide provides information to assist in the planning, initiation and completion of a mineral exploration program in a fashion that will help minimize environmental impacts and meet relevant legislative requirements. SMEGAC consists of representatives from the Province of Saskatchewan, including the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Government Relations as well as Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and various mineral exploration companies active in the province. This guideline was circulated and reviewed by various provincial and federal government agencies and the mineral exploration industry during the course of its development. The Mineral Exploration Guidelines for Saskatchewan is a living document and will be revised to reflect improvements and changes to new field procedures or legislation requirements. SMEGAC will be the lead in gathering and evaluating revisions to this document. We encourage stakeholders to provide suggestions for improving these guidelines. Comments and suggestions may be addressed to any SMEGAC representative or to: Ministry of Environment ATTN: SMEGAC

  • Chapter 19 Securing Saskenergy's SCADA System 1.0 MAIN POINTS
    Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Securing SaskEnergy’s SCADA System 1.0 MAIN POINTS The people and economy of Saskatchewan require safe, uninterrupted, and effective distribution of natural gas. Natural gas is used to heat buildings, power appliances, and is used by many Saskatchewan industries. SaskEnergy delivers natural gas to 358,000 customers throughout Saskatchewan. Natural gas is transported to customers using a pipeline distribution system that covers 92% of Saskatchewan communities. SaskEnergy relies on both physical and information technology assets to distribute natural gas. Physical assets include compressor stations and pipelines. Information technology assets like supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are used to monitor and control the physical transportation of natural gas through pipelines. This chapter describes our audit of SaskEnergy’s SCADA system. The objective of our work was to assess whether SaskEnergy had effective processes to secure its SCADA system. For the period of September 1, 2012 to February 28, 2013, our audit found that SaskEnergy did not have effective processes to secure its SCADA system. SaskEnergy needs to improve its processes in the following areas: Prepare a complete threat and risk assessment for its SCADA system Implement complete policies and procedures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its SCADA system Properly configure its SCADA system to protect against security threats Protect its facilities from unauthorized access Protect its SCADA system from unauthorized access Monitor SCADA system security Test its SCADA system continuity plan We make seven recommendations in this chapter to help SaskEnergy protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its SCADA system, and associated data.

    Natural Resources and Government Revenue: Recent Trends in Saskatchewan John W. Warnock ISBN - 0-88627-440-0 1 Natural Resources and Government Revenues: Recent Trends in Saskatchewan by John W. Warnock Introduction For most of its history, Saskatchewan has been a “Have Natural Resources are a not” province with per capita income and gross domestic product free gift from nature.

Until the province began to develop the managed by their elected resource sector, there were limited government revenues governments. available for expanding social programs. Natural resources are a free gift from nature. In Canada, they are the property of the people as a whole, under provincial jurisdiction, and managed by their elected governments. Since the expansion of democracy, and the election of the CCF Government in 1944, the people of Saskatchewan have consistently felt that natural resources should be developed for the benefit of all. This means that the economic surplus, or economic rent created by the extraction of non- renewable resources, should primarily benefit the general public. Beginning with the election of the NDP Government of Allan Blakeney in 1971, there was a concerted effort to expand the share of resource rents going to the government. This additional revenue helped finance economic development and enabled a significant expansion of social programs.
