REGINA—Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says his government will take steps to protect Saskatchewan’s families, businesses, and jobs from federal policies that could cost the province’s economy $111 billion by 2035.

A policy paper released on Oct. 11 “clearly defines the boundaries between provincial and federal jurisdiction when it comes to our natural resources and the potential they have for a strong and growing Saskatchewan,” Moe said on Twitter.
