Today was my first opportunity to speak with Prime Minister Carney, and probably my last opportunity to do so before a federal election is called.

On behalf the province and people of Saskatchewan, I call on the Prime Minister to commit to the following:

1. Reach out immediately to engage with President Xi Jinping to indicate Canada wants to negotiate a path to removing the tariffs on Canadian canola, peas, pork and seafood.

2. Commit to support and provide swift approval of pipeline projects to the east and west coasts as well as north/south corridors;

3. Commit to work closely with the provinces on any response to further US tariffs that may be imposed on Canada;

4. Commit to not impose export tariffs on Saskatchewan resources or any other exports;

5. Repeal of laws and regulations that impede the development of our energy and mining industries, including Bill C-69, Clean Electricity Regulations, oil and gas production cap, methane emissions cap, and commit to a timeline for any and all federal approvals;

6. Complete removal of the federal carbon tax, including the industrial carbon tax; and

7. Discontinuing the federal government’s efforts to try to collect the federal carbon tax on home heating from Saskatchewan.

A federal election is necessary soon because we have a dysfunctional Parliament and a new Prime Minister without a seat in Parliament.

However, it is certainly not ideal that Canada will have a caretaker government at such an uncertain and unstable time in our international trade relations.

Saskatchewan will be expecting these actions to be taken regardless of who is Prime Minister following the upcoming federal election.
