NDP questions gov’t involvement in U.S. company taking over Sask. business contract [Video]

The provincial NDP is raising questions about the Sask. Party’s involvement with a U.S. rubber recycling company gaining a contract held by a Saskatchewan business.

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.

After years of negotiations with the provincial non-profit that manages tire recycling fell through, Shercom lost its exclusive contract, which forced the company to shut down its processing plant and lay off more than 60 workers.

On Tuesday, the provincial NDP released documents showing that former Sask. Party Finance Minster Kevin Doherty was hired as a lobbyist by the U.S. company which was later awarded the contract previously held by Shercom.

According to the NDP, Doherty was hired by CRM Tire Processing of Newport Beach California to lobby Premier Scott Moe.

Months later, the company received the contract.
