Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is set to release a policy paper next week focusing on the impact of federal policies on the province and how to "protect" against "federal intrusion" into provincial jurisdiction.

"Legislation to clarify and defend Saskatchewan's constitutional authority is one such option." ...

This week, Moe co-signed a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden to call for land border crossings to return to pre-pandemic hours of operation.
