Legislative Report
May 13, 2026

Strong economic performance and record investment are creating new opportunities for families and communities across the province.

Our competitive incentives and predictable regulatory framework continue to attract global investment. The Fraser Institute ranked Saskatchewan among the top three jurisdictions worldwide for mining investment attractiveness. Mineral sales reached $12.8 billion in 2025, representing a 19 per cent increase over 2024 and reflecting continued confidence in Saskatchewan’s resource sector.

This growth was driven by substantial gains in potash and uranium sales. Potash sales rose over 18 per cent to $9.3 billion, while uranium sales increased 24 per cent to $3.2 billion, setting a new industry record. Uranium sales exceeded the Saskatchewan Growth Plan’s 2030 target for the second straight year, surpassing it by more than 50 per cent. Potash remains a core pillar of our strong economy, and our world-class uranium industry continues to create opportunities across the province.

Alongside potash and uranium, projects in helium, lithium, gold, copper and zinc continue to advance. The diversity of our resource sector positions the province as a true critical minerals powerhouse and a reliable supplier of food and clean energy security to global partners. More than 20,000 people work in mining and contractor roles across Saskatchewan, and companies purchase over $3 billion in goods and services from local suppliers each year.

Stable economic performance continues to support strong procurement outcomes for local suppliers. In 2025-26, 94 per cent of executive government procurements went to Saskatchewan companies, totaling $698 million across 490 contracts. The Crown sector procured an additional $1.5 billion in goods and services, including $152 million awarded to Indigenous suppliers.

A secure business climate continues to attract major private investment. This is reflected in recent projects from Louis Dreyfus Company, Sandvik and BHP, whose Jansen project is the largest investment in provincial history. Saskatchewan’s strong and diversified economy is also supporting significant growth in the tech sector. A new 300 MW data centre near Regina, announced with Bell Canada, is valued at up to $12 billion and will create substantial economic activity.

This activity allows our government to make strategic investments that strengthen essential services and modernize key infrastructure across the province, ensuring families have access to the care and support they need.

One way we are ensuring families have access to the care and support they need is through continued investments in critical care services. Construction has begun on major ICU renovations at Royal University Hospital, supported by over $17 million in capital funding for 2026-27. This project will expand ICU capacity from 19 to 26 beds and modernize the entire unit to support safer, more efficient care. Renovations will be completed in phases to maintain uninterrupted services for patients and care teams. These upgrades ensure Saskatchewan families continue receiving timely, life-saving care when they need it most.

By working with community partners, we are creating spaces that foster community, connection and a better quality of life for Saskatchewan residents. A new four-space group home has opened in Regina through a partnership with Chip and Dale Homes. The project includes $1.5 million in capital funding and over $500,000 in annual operations. The home provides 24-hour staffing, supervision and personal care in a safe, respectful environment that promotes dignity, independence and community inclusion.

These improvements are part of broader efforts to support individuals and families across the province. Community supports rely on safe neighbourhoods and that’s why we continue to advance public safety through targeted initiatives. A partnership with Paul Brandt’s #NotInMyCity initiative is providing $100,000 for specialized training for frontline law enforcement. Training will focus on investigative skills, victim-centred practices and improved coordination among police agencies.

At the same time, specialized policing teams are delivering strong results across Saskatchewan municipalities. These teams support local police services with major investigations, gang suppression, warrant enforcement and community safety operations. Their work has led to significant drug seizures, arrests and the removal of illegal firearms, helping keep communities safe.

Together, these efforts reflect a province moving forward with confidence. Saskatchewan continues to create jobs, support communities and deliver results that keep our province strong and competitive.

As the spring legislative session draws to a close, our government remains focused on doing the work that protects Saskatchewan today and strengthens our province for the future. This year’s budget keeps life affordable, invests in communities, and protects the services families rely on. With the Patients First Health Care Plan, we are expanding access, supporting health-care workers, and building the modern system Saskatchewan people deserve. This session, we delivered meaningful results, and we’re proud of the work accomplished for families across our province.
