Legislative Report
September 30, 2026
As our population grows and new opportunities emerge, our government remains focused on creating the conditions that support long-term prosperity, strong communities and a secure future for Saskatchewan families. Recent announcements demonstrate the confidence investors, businesses and industries have in our province and highlight the work being done to support growth for generations to come.
A major milestone was reached this week with the release of Saskatchewan's nuclear power strategy, which establishes a goal of producing at least 2,600 megawatts of nuclear-generated electricity by 2050. The plan includes development of large-scale nuclear reactors in northwest Saskatchewan and continued work toward Small Modular Reactor deployment near Estevan. Reliable and affordable electricity will be essential to support population growth, industrial expansion and major investment projects. Saskatchewan is well positioned to become a leader in nuclear energy given our world-class uranium resources, skilled workforce and growing expertise in the sector.
Saskatchewan's role as a global supplier of essential resources continues to grow through investments that expand access to international markets. A recently announced $500 million Canpotex investment at Neptune Bulk Terminals in the Port of Vancouver will strengthen export capacity for Saskatchewan potash and support long-term economic growth. As home to the world's largest potash reserves, Saskatchewan helps feed a growing world while creating jobs and opportunities here at home. Potash exports reached $9 billion in 2025, underscoring the industry's importance to our province's economy.
Supporting growth also requires continued investment in infrastructure. Our government is strengthening partnerships with industry leaders and local suppliers to ensure major projects are delivered efficiently and effectively. Saskatchewan's Growth Plan includes a commitment to invest $30 billion in infrastructure by 2030, helping communities keep pace with a growing population and expanding economy. During the 2025-26 fiscal year, more than 94 per cent of government procurement spending was awarded to Saskatchewan-based companies, supporting local businesses and jobs across the province.
That growth is also being reflected in Saskatchewan's housing sector. According to the latest information from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, housing starts increased by 65.5 per cent in August compared to the same month last year, ranking first among all provinces. Multi-unit housing construction more than doubled during that period, helping address demand created by record investment, job creation and population growth. Saskatchewan has now ranked first or second nationally in housing start growth for three consecutive months, demonstrating the strength of our construction sector and continued confidence in our province's future.
Alongside measures to increase housing supply, our government continues to support Saskatchewan residents who may need additional help. In North Battleford, a new supportive housing project is underway that will provide eight housing units for individuals experiencing homelessness. Developed in partnership with the Battlefords Indian Métis Friendship Centre, the project will offer safe housing, culturally appropriate supports and access to services that help individuals build stable, successful futures. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to increasing affordable housing and supporting vulnerable residents throughout Saskatchewan.
Our government is planning for the future while delivering results today. From strengthening energy security and expanding export opportunities to building housing and critical infrastructure, Saskatchewan continues to create the conditions for long-term growth and prosperity. With responsible planning and strategic investment, we are ensuring Saskatchewan remains one of the best places in Canada to live, work, raise a family and build a business.
