Saskatchewan First: Province seeking more autonomy over resources, economic future
Oct 26, 2022 | 1:08 PM
REGINA — Premier Scott Moe has his eyes set on flexing Saskatchewan’s autonomy with legislation akin to Alberta’s proposed sovereignty act.
Lt.-Gov. Russell Mirastry, in the throne speech, has laid out the Saskatchewan Party government’s agenda for the fall session of the legislature.
He says Saskatchewan will seek more independence, especially over its natural resources.
Canada’s Constitution already separates provincial and federal powers, but Saskatchewan wants the writing in its own laws.
The government is set in the coming days to introduce the Saskatchewan First Act.
It says the intent is to define that “Saskatchewan alone†has exclusive jurisdiction over its natural resources and economic future.
“The legislation will draw the jurisdictional line and defend that line based on the existing constitutional division of powers,†Mirasty said. “To be clear, this is not about abrogating or ignoring the Constitution.â€
Moe made a commitment that his government would “respect and follow all the laws of the land†as it puts forward these changes.
“We’re trying to do everything we can as a province to try to provide clarity for the investment community and for Saskatchewan residents, as well as Canadians,†Moe said Wednesday.
He said emission caps on fertilizer or oil production is outside the bounds of the federal government’s jurisdiction.
Saskatchewan lost a constitutional challenge against Ottawa on the carbon tax, but Moe said he doesn’t believe it set a precedent for other federal environmental policies.
“The weighing in on the carbon tax policy doesn’t pre-empt that it’s going to work on all these other… (federal environmental) polices,†said Moe, who has previously said he would take legal actions against them.
Saskatchewan is already set to intervene in the constitutional challenge of Canada’s Impact Assessment Act, should it move to the Supreme Court of Canada. It allows the government to assess environmental impacts of projects on federal lands before they go ahead.

It’s about time. Saskatchewan has accomplished 10 times more on this that Alberta. Moe means business. This is the most vision I’ve seen out of any politician that is tangible and positive. Suck on that ndp.

Have you driven by the government liquor board stores lately? If you did, you would have noticed that there were no cars in the parking lot. It would translate to me that there probably weren’t any customers in the store because people find it much more convenient to pick up their supplies when they are getting groceries.

Well ok you guys are correct . Not the end of the world. But Baby steps .
It is just more of the same conservative attitude. Emasculation of govt.keep rich buddies rich.
Why not just give Galen Weston the power to write our laws. I guess we are there now. Price fixing, Zero charges.
Steal millions and not one day in jail.
Must be nice.
Then with consolidation . Soon your back to the monolopys in booze business. conservatives and liberals seem to love enriching the richest.
It would just be wrong for anyone to earn more than min wage in a liqour outlet Sask.
Build a nice house etc etc.
Galen and Walmart need that money .
