Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe sent Prime Minister Mark Carney a letter outlining 10 federal policy changes needed to mend the relationship between the province and Ottawa.

The changes “would clearly signal a new, more positive relationship between Saskatchewan and the federal government than we have had for the past 10 years,” Moe wrote Wednesday, referencing the strained relationship with former prime minister Justin Trudeau. 

His demands include negotiating with China to remove agricultural tariffs; ending federal carbon emission policies (industrial carbon tax and clean electricity regulations); reforming bail; expanding pipeline, rail, and port capacity; and, reducing federal red tape to streamline infrastructure project approvals and provincial infringement.
