YOUR LEGISLATIVE REPORT
The Spring Sitting of the Second Session of the Thirtieth Legislature concluded on May 14, 2026. Our government advanced key priorities focused on protecting Saskatchewan through affordability, health care, community safety, education, and economic growth. Throughout this sitting, we remained focused on keeping life affordable for Saskatchewan families while supporting a strong and resilient provincial economy. This year’s budget reflects this approach, with investments strengthening programs and services, supporting communities, and ensuring Saskatchewan remains well-positioned for the future. The 2026-27 provincial budget is available online at www.budget.saskatchewan.ca.
We also saw the passage of several important pieces of legislation introduced in the fall sitting, advancing commitments made in the Throne Speech. These included The Compassionate Intervention Act, which creates a pathway for families, law enforcement, and the courts to initiate treatment supports for individuals unable to seek help on their own; The Building Schools Faster Act, which improves processes for timely school construction with municipalities; The Saskatchewan Firearms Amendment Act, which strengthens provincial protections for law-abiding firearms owners in relation to federally directed firearms policies; and The Saskatchewan Internal Trade Promotion Act, which reduces interprovincial trade barriers and supports economic growth.
Also included were The Tailgating Act, which enables tailgating events prior to Saskatchewan Roughriders games and other major events; The Cyberstalking and Coercive Control Act, which strengthens protections for victims of interpersonal violence; and The Heritage Recognition (From Many Peoples, Strength) Act, which establishes a framework to recognize Saskatchewan’s cultural and heritage observances.
Additional measures included The Municipalities Modernization and Red Tape Reduction Act, which reduces administrative duplication and streamlines municipal processes; The Response to Illicit Drugs Act, which strengthens tools to address drug-related crime and enhances accountability; and The Income Tax Amendment Act, which doubles the volunteer first responders tax credit to support community responders.
Our government’s priorities were guided by the Throne Speech and the 2024 election commitments, and we are pleased to have delivered on all our promises. With a continued focus on protecting Saskatchewan and supporting long-term growth for the benefit of everyone who calls our province home, we will continue to be out in communities. We look forward to engaging with residents, local organizations and businesses and to listening to how we can best support the needs of Saskatchewan people.

Moving into the summer months, Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are now open across the province, welcoming residents and visitors for another season of outdoor recreation. Our government is pleased to see preparations completed for campsites and trails, and we thank all staff who have worked hard to ensure parks are ready for visitors. A full slate of programming and seasonal events is also available and can be explored on the Sask Parks website under the event calendar at www.saskparks.com.

SASKATCHEWAN MONTHLY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE - MAY 2026 EDITION
Note: I am highlighting the Saskatoon Urgent Care Centre but click on the link to see the entire update
Working in partnership with Ahtahkakoop Cree Developments (ACD), Saskatchewan's second urgent care centre (UCC) in Saskatoon continues to show progress.
Recent construction activities include the completion of wall protection, millwork and flooring. Mechanical and electrical work continues along with the installation of doors, hardware, lighting fixtures and washroom accessories. Exterior work has resumed with paving and concrete work set to commence. The final coat of paint within the facility is scheduled for completion by the end of May.
"Seeing the progress on the new Saskatoon Urgent Care Centre is truly exciting," Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. "Urgent care centres are designed to put patients first and improve access - helping ease pressure on emergency departments while ensuring people get the right care, at the right place, at the right time. We are proud to be bringing this model of care to Saskatoon and more Saskatchewan communities in the future."
The Saskatoon UCC will be 1,600 square metres in size and will feature five unique wall murals chosen by the late Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation Chief Barry Ahenakew shortly before his passing. Four of the five murals incorporate the four sacred medicines, which include sage, cedar, tobacco and sweetgrass. The Cree translations are also included as part of the murals.
A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PAST WEEK
VISIT TO SUNCREST COLLEGE
It was a pleasure to have four of my colleagues join me to visit Suncrest College in Yorkton last week to learn more about the institution’s programs and training opportunities. Discussions included Medical Sonography, Fire Suppression, and Primary Care Paramedic programs, among many others.
A sincere thank you to CEO Alison Dubreuil for her excellent presentation, and appreciation to colleagues, MLA David Chan, Hon. Warren Kaeding, MLA Terri Bromm, and MLA Daryl Harrison for taking part in the visit.
