Saskatchewan’s Energy and Resources Minister believes the annual provincial and territorial Energy and Mines Ministers’ Conference in Charlottetown, PEI was a successful one. It focused on Canadian energy security, building resource sector export capacity and strengthening competitiveness.

Minister Colleen Young says, “With global demand increasing for Saskatchewan’s resource commodities, our energy and mining sectors are poised to experience considerable growth in the years ahead.” She adds that for this potential to become reality, the province needs to work with federal and provincial counterparts to grow export access to global markets and streamline the regulatory processes to then increase investor confidence. Young says, ” Saskatchewan is at the table, and ready to play a large role in making Canada the strongest economy in the G7 and a global energy super-power.”
