Saskatchewan government to focus on autonomy during new legislative session

Oct 26, 2022 | 9:22 AM

REGINA – Saskatchewan Lt-Gov. Russ Mirasty is scheduled to lay out the province’s priorities in a throne speech this afternoon, as a new session of the legislature begins.

The Saskatchewan Party government provided some hints earlier this week about its focus.

It said it is to include a bill outlining the province’s rights over its natural resources.

Premier Scott Moe also said there will be an announcement about a new trade office in the European Union.

The priorities build off last year, when Moe promised to build a stronger, more independent province.
