U.S. tariffs hit our steel. So we’re hitting back — with a 10,000-ton accelerated order from EVRAZ.

SaskPower will accelerate a significant order of steel from EVRAZ for transmission structures and other infrastructure critical for our power grid.

We will always stand up for Saskatchewan to protect our economy, our jobs and our people.

While we respect the Senate Committee's work, we're disappointed to see Bill C-64, the Pharmacare Act, advance without amendments. With conflicting views on a national pharmacare plan, 🇨🇦s deserve clarity on their healthcare options & workplace benefits ⤵️ https://t.co/0QSDBJ7qOQ

@WERCofC is deeply concerned by the potential strike looming from PSAC-CIU personnel. The Chamber has sent a letter to the President of PSAC-CIU, Mark Weber, and the Hon. Anita Anand. Hopefully, both sides recognize the urgency and will work to prevent the strike.
