Moe says there will also be legislation introduced this session to make sure Saskatchewan has exclusive jurisdiction over the development of its natural resources, saying the Sask Party government will draw a jurisdictional line and will do what is necessary to defend that line based on Canada’s existing constitutional powers. He notes that Saskatchewan has a growing economy, but there is a shortage of skilled labour.
Moe would like that to all be under provincial jurisdiction, along with another 4,000 immigrants for a total of 13,000 a year. He explains that right now, Saskatchewan has a provincial cap of 6,000 immigrants a year, and then 3,000 come through the federal government. Moe says the Speech from the Throne will touch on what’s ahead, including working with the federal government on a Canada-Saskatchewan Immigration Accord, similar to what Quebec has.
One of the big messages from Premier Scott Moe ahead of the fall sitting of the Legislature beginning on Wednesday is that Saskatchewan produces food and energy more sustainably than anyone else, so the goal is to unlock that vast potential.
