Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution
- Railway tax exemptions – CP Rail’s request for tax exemption will affect provincial budget and revenue sharing
Policies or Program
- Drought Impact - Business risk management tools will have to be maintained and possibly enhanced if drought conditions continue next year
- Natural Disasters (BC Flooding) – amplifying issues surrounding Canada’s supply chain network and the need for a wider lens when monitoring these situations as they relate to all areas of each Province
- RCMP costs - Unionization-related costs coupled with rising policing costs overall could result in significant financial burdens for municipalities
- Rural Broadband – The Rural Broadband Action Committee is moving forward with bringing entities together that will help bring affordable, reliable broadband connectivity to rural Saskatchewan
Regulation
- Emissions regulations – industries are heavily dependent on fossil fuels to produce energy, food, fertilizer, products and commodities needed around the world. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gases should not disadvantage one region of Canada more than another
