Legislative Report
December 10, 2025
The Fall Sitting of the Second Session of the Thirtieth Legislature is now complete. Over the past several weeks, our government introduced and passed new measures focused on keeping Saskatchewan’s economy strong, our communities safe, and our future secure.
Progress continued as commitments made in the Throne Speech moved forward through several new pieces of legislation. One of these is The Saskatchewan Internal Trade Promotion Act, which aims to reduce trade barriers between provinces and help support freer trade across Canada. Another major step was The Response to Illicit Drugs Act, designed to protect families and communities from illegal drugs and to hold those who profit from them accountable.
Work also advanced on laws that support vulnerable people and families. The Compassionate Intervention Act will require individuals whose addictions put themselves or others at risk to receive the care they need. Updates were made to The Inter-Jurisdictional Support Orders Act to ensure child support orders continue to be enforced, even when a parent moves to another province. Changes to The Change of Name Act will prevent individuals convicted of serious crimes from changing their names.
Further legislative changes focused on public safety, school growth, and animal welfare. Amendments to the Saskatchewan Firearms Act will protect gun owners from financial liability caused by federal firearm bans. The Building Schools Faster Act requires municipalities to secure enough land so new schools can be built quickly. Updates to The Animal Protection Act will strengthen animal welfare by creating a new animal welfare inspector position and setting a code of conduct for animal protection officers.
We continue to acknowledge the diversity and recognize the enriching contributions made by many cultural groups in our province. The “From Many Peoples, Strength” Act will allow for permanent recognition of special days, weeks and months that celebrate them. With next year’s football schedule now released, it’s timely that The Tailgating Act will allow tailgating events at Mosaic Stadium before Roughrider games, adding even more excitement to a uniquely Saskatchewan experience.
Several commitments from Throne Speech have already become law. Five bills have received royal assent: Bill No. 25 – The Income Tax (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act, 2025; Bill No. 26 – The Miscellaneous Statutes Repeal Act, 2025; Bill No. 27 – The Statute Law Amendment Act, 2025; Bill No. 28 – The Public Libraries Amendment Act, 2025; and Bill No. 34 – The Cyberstalking and Coercive Control Act.
Important steps were also taken outside of legislation. A five-year extension of the Canada-Saskatchewan Early Learning and Child Care Agreement will keep child care affordable, provide stability for providers, support every child’s learning and help families plan for a strong future. Building on our commitment to education, we continue to recognize the transformative role post-secondary institutions play in shaping Saskatchewan’s future. A new multi-year funding agreement has been signed to support quality education and help keep tuition manageable for students. Another critical part of building a strong future for Saskatchewan is our commitment to nuclear energy. Through the recently released Saskatchewan First Energy Security Strategy and Supply Plan, we are working to ensure our province’s energy remains reliable and affordable for years to come.
Global trade challenges were another key theme this session. Saskatchewan continues to face tariffs and shifting trade relationships with India, China and the United States. Premier Moe met with officials from all three countries including during a mission to Washington, D.C. and in discussions with India’s Minister of External Affairs. I am proud to have a Premier who continues to defend Saskatchewan’s interests, expand export opportunities and help our industries compete successfully in markets across the world. We will keep working with the federal government to remove tariffs while expanding export markets in more than 160 countries.
In the coming months, your Saskatchewan Party government will continue connecting with people and businesses across the province. It has been a productive session, and many initiatives are now moving forward. I am glad to be back in our constituency and would love to connect with you!
