Saskatchewan Premier, Brad Wall says comments on oil sands made by Premier Dalton McGuinty of Ontario are divisive.

According to the Canadian Press, Premier Dalton McGuinty said that a strong oilsands industry means a high Canadian dollar, which hurts Ontario's manufacturing and export sectors. He said Ontario would prefer a lower dollar over a growing oil and gas industry in Western Canada.

"I just don't think it's helpful when any of us say that the energy sector in this case is bad for another part of the country, because it may or may not have an impact on the dollar," Wall said.

"He could be saying the same thing about our potash. We're the world's number 1 exporter of potash. We get paid in U.S. dollars. When we export resources, that has an impact on the dollar. It's true of potash, it's true of oil and I think that those two industries are positive for the country.

"They're good for Ontario, they're good for us, and I think the remarks are unnecessarily divisive that Mr. McGuinty has made."
