During the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Food, Fuel, and Fertilizer Global Summit held in Regina, Premier Scott Moe delivered a keynote address focusing on the significance of market diversification for Saskatchewan companies. Moe asserted that Saskatchewan is a prime location for business, emphasizing the province's capacity to ensure global food and energy security. He noted that Saskatchewan's exports reached over 160 countries in 2025, showcasing the province's international relationships. Cameco, a Saskatoon-based uranium producer, is experiencing growth due to a global demand for nuclear energy, particularly in India, which aims to increase its nuclear capacity significantly by 2047. Additionally, discussions around fuel prices highlighted concerns from Saskatchewan NDP MLA Trent Wotherspoon, who urged the government to provide relief for families and businesses facing high costs. The provincial government is exploring more sustainable tax reductions to alleviate these pressures, following a temporary federal fuel tax suspension that reduced gas prices by 10 cents. Furthermore, Saskatchewan reported a 12% increase in private investment last year, totaling $13.6 billion, ranking it first among Canadian provinces.
