Investments Strengthen Saskatchewan

Travis Keisig: — Well thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s another great day in Saskatchewan. We are experiencing one of the strongest periods of growth and investments in this province’s history. Our mining sector leads the way with BHP’s approval of stage 2 at Jansen, bringing their total investment to nearly $19 billion, while Nutrien, Cameco, Foran, NexGen, K+S, and Denison are all expanding production and advancing major projects in critical minerals and clean energy.

Our energy sector remains strong with Cenovus advancing its Spruce Lake North project and Cardinal Energy investing 155 million to new production online. Value-added agriculture is thriving. Louis Dreyfus, Cargill, Richardson, AGT Foods, and more are expanding processing capacity and creating jobs all across Saskatchewan.

We’re seeing new investments in fertilizer, forestry, and manufacturing, helping diversify our economy. Our Crown corporations are making major commitments with SaskPower investing one and a half billion in the grid, and SaskTel investing 440 million. Saskatchewan is also attracting major tech investments including Bell Canada’s 1.7 billion artificial intelligence data centre right here in our province.

These investments mean jobs and opportunities for so many of our young people. Their impact reaches every corner of Saskatchewan, strengthening the entire province. Saskatchewan is growing, Mr. Speaker. Investors are choosing our province. And this government is building a future that is strong, secure, and full of opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
