The first session of Saskatchewan’s new legislative assembly will start a little more than a month after the 2020 provincial election was held.
In a media release Monday, Premier Scott Moe announced the session is to begin Nov. 30. Moe’s Saskatchewan Party won 48 of the assembly’s 61 seats in the Oct. 26 provincial election.
The day will feature the election of the speaker in the morning and the Throne Speech delivered by Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty in the afternoon.
“Our government has received a new mandate from the people of Saskatchewan and I know all MLAs on both sides of the House are looking forward to getting into the Assembly and debating the important issues facing our province,” Moe said in the release.
“Of course, our immediate focus with be on managing through the ongoing pandemic — keeping Saskatchewan people safe while keeping our economy open and working toward a strong recovery.”
According to the release, the assembly has been reconfigured to allow for more physical distancing between the members. As well, Plexiglas shields are being installed on all of the desks and all members will be required to wear masks.
The number of members who will be in the assembly at one time is still being determined.
The government said the fall sitting is expected to last for two weeks, allowing for debate and passage of the Throne Speech as well as the introduction of legislation — including bills that will follow through on the government’s campaign commitments.
