PREMIER SCOTT MOE ATTENDS COUNCIL OF FEDERATION MEETING
Premier Scott Moe, "After a productive week of meetings with my fellow Premiers in Huntsville, I want to thank Premier Doug Ford for hosting the Council of the Federation.
As Premiers, we had important discussions on internal trade and labour mobility, immigration, public safety, and health care.
Over the course of the week Saskatchewan signed Memorandums of Understanding with Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, and Ontario—key steps that will help reduce barriers and grow economic opportunities across the country.
I also had the opportunity to meet with healthcare stakeholders including the President of the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, Bryce Boynton, and the Canadian Medical Association President, Dr. Margot Burnell, to continue important conversations around Saskatchewan healthcare retention and recruitment.
The consensus and collaboration achieved by Canada’s premiers is important to deliver real benefits to the people of Saskatchewan and all Canadians. We look forward to the federal government working with us to take action as we work to build infrastructure, develop resources, and expand our markets."
SASKATCHEWAN, ONTARIO AND ALBERTA TO ADVANCE PIPELINES, CRITICAL MINERALS AND ENERGY EXPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate the safe transportation and export of Western Canadian oil, natural gas and critical minerals to refineries, seaports and storage facilities across Canada and beyond.
"We are sending a clear signal that Canada's energy future will be built by Canadians, for Canadians," Moe said. "This agreement commits our provinces to work together to unlock new markets, shore up our supply chains from mine to port and advocate for the federal reforms our industry needs. By advancing pipelines, rail connections and critical-mineral processing capacity, we are safeguarding thousands of jobs, strengthening our energy security and fostering sustainable growth."
The MOU establishes a collaborative framework to explore multiple pipeline and rail corridors, and expansion of processing hubs for critical minerals. All of this will create new and critical avenues to reach domestic and international markets.

SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA ADVANCE INTERPROVINCIAL TRADE
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on enhancing interprovincial trade between the two jurisdictions.
"Saskatchewan is standing strong through the storm that is our current trade challenges," Moe said. "Manitoba and Saskatchewan have been strong trading partners through the New West Partnership Trade Agreement. Together, we are encouraging other jurisdictions to join Canada's most ambitious domestic trade agreement, and we are building on our economic relationship through further trade collaboration, for example, on direct-to-consumer (DTC) alcohol sales."
Much like the MOUs Saskatchewan has signed with Ontario and PEI, today's agreement includes commitments to move forward on a framework for DTC alcohol sales and facilitate mutual recognition. Improving labour mobility and trade are at the heart of this MOU, while remaining focused on strengthening public safety and maintaining the role of crown corporations.
