Global Summit Showcases Saskatchewan as a World Leader

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday and today our capital city played host to the Food, Fuel, Fertilizer Global Summit. Saskatchewan is known worldwide as the home of the most sustainable food, fuel, fertilizer, and critical minerals on the market. And with business leaders and delegates from every corner of the Earth joining us over these last two days, the world knows to buy Saskatchewan.

Our international trade missions and offices we’ve established in various jurisdictions are working to tell our sustainable Saskatchewan story. Even if the federal government isn’t interested in telling our story, we sure will.

The summit’s agenda featured several Canadian industry and political leaders, including former prime minister Stephen Harper; former US [United States] ambassador to Canada David Wilkins; former premier Brad Wall; Tim Gitzel, president and CEO of Cameco; Bruce Bodine, president and CEO of Mosaic; Murad Al-Katib, president and CEO of AGT Foods; Heather Ryan, CEO, Federated Co-op and many, many more. Our Premier joined these esteemed guests to participate in dialogue sessions and showcase our province as a world leader in sustainable resource development.

Conference participants come from nations around the globe, including Ghana, Tanzania, Guatemala, Türkiye, Switzerland, Lesotho, Jordan, and Kenya. Thank you to Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce for hosting and providing the opportunity to showcase our province and build these very important connections. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
