The Saskatchewan First Act (SFA), designed to give the province autonomy and jurisdiction over its natural resources, has passed in the legislature.

“This is a major step in defending our economic potential from federal overreach while we continue to build a strong and growing economy that benefits everyone in SK. That’s growth that works for everyone,” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said on Twitter March 17.
