Environment minister Ross Wiseman announced on Wednesday that his department found a couple of cement plants in Quebec to take a bunch of old tires off his hands.
The crowd in Quebec will burn the tires to replace coal in their heating system or some such.
The provincial government will issue a tender call to ship the tires to Quebec. Presumably the provincial government will be footing the bill.
Scroll down through the news release and you’ll see mention of another plan to ship tires to Quebec for burning.
It’s from 2010.
And guess what?
The provincial government is paying to ship those tires to Quebec as well.
Still, aside from the whole trading with the enemy vibe this gives off, is there anything in this latest announcement that counts as new?
