Legislative Report
November 19, 2025

Across Saskatchewan, we are seeing positive change in our communities as we work to meet the needs of a growing population. From strong economic numbers and continued initiatives in health care to improvements in education and more, our government is focused on building a strong, safe and secure Saskatchewan where families and communities feel supported.

A growing economy allows us to provide families with safe and affordable housing. Saskatchewan topped the charts in housing starts, with an increase of 50.8 per cent in the first ten months of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Housing starts are an important economic indicator because they represent real people and families who are choosing to build their futures in Saskatchewan.

With more people calling our province home, we remain committed to expanding access to primary care. Our government is pleased to introduce 19 new Nurse Practitioners (NPs) who will provide publicly funded primary care services in communities where residents need them most. The number of NP contracts is expected to grow in the coming months, with up to 30 available. We remain committed to improving access to quality care for every patient, no matter where they live. This initiative supports our broader strategy to ensure that everyone in Saskatchewan has access to a primary health care provider by the end of 2028.

Education infrastructure is essential to our neighbourhoods, helping to welcome families and support children’s learning. That’s why our initiatives are evolving to meet the needs of our growing population. Our government has introduced the Building Schools Faster Act, new legislation designed to accelerate school construction in communities experiencing rapid growth. The legislation is expected to be passed in spring 2026. Through this, we are helping ensure students get the best start in modern learning spaces.

Supporting safe and secure communities through targeted policing initiatives is also a priority for our government. While $7.8 million is being invested in policing initiatives in Saskatoon and $6.8 million is being directed toward strengthening local police services in Regina, our government has supported police services across the province through the Municipal Police Grants Program since 1998. Today, the program funds 160 specialized police positions in nine communities provincewide. These investments enhance the ability of our communities to stay ahead of safety concerns and challenges. This work supports our effort in creating safe places to live, work and raise a family.

Work to expand programs that prevent homelessness and enhance support services for individuals experiencing homelessness is also underway through the Provincial Approach to Homelessness (PATH). We are investing up to an additional $20 million over three years. Since PATH was announced in 2023, we have invested more than $98 million in homelessness services. We look forward to continuing our partnerships with service providers, municipalities, the federal government, and with Indigenous and community organizations. Together, we are helping people in need transition to stable housing, remain successfully housed and achieve a better quality of life.

These initiatives reflect our government’s commitment to improving quality of life across Saskatchewan. By maintaining a strong economy that enables strategic investments in health care, education, public safety and social supports, we are laying the foundation for stronger communities today and for generations to come.
