Mining and minerals platforms

Here's what the 2024 Saskatchewan election parties are promising.

Sask Party

  • Undertake legal action to assert provincial jurisdiction over the natural resources and electricity sectors

    "A re-elected Saskatchewan Party government will undertake legal action as required to assert provincial jurisdiction over our natural resources and electricity sector to protect Saskatchewan’s economy." — Our Plan for a Strong Economy and a Bright Future, retrieved 2024-10-19

We don't have any NDP policies on Mining and minerals.

Sask United

  • Reopen the royalty framework on potash

    "We recognize the rarity and global demand for Saskatchewan’s world class potash reserves. As a result, potash must be priced accordingly and reflecting its true value – ensuring that Saskatchewan people reap the economic benefits of their natural resource wealth. The wealth generated from potash and other re- sources need to benefit the Saskatchewan people first and foremost, rather than being siphoned off to global markets. Corporations profiting from production need to pay their fair share. We will reopen the royalty framework on potash to ensure the province and its people have a fair deal." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
