Saskatchewan’s Pivotal Legislative Session Begins: Retail Sector on Alert

February 28, 2024

The Saskatchewan assembly gears up for a critical legislative session starting Monday, March 4, 2024, anticipated to be the last before the fall provincial election. After a previous session with limited focus on retail, RCC is optimistic about potential moves by the ruling Saskatchewan party to address growing concerns for retailers. Key issues include escalating operating costs due to complex employment standards, taxation, and the burden of retail security on businesses of all sizes.

The 2024 budget announcement is slated for March 20, 2024. RCC is ready to analyze and communicate any significant government commitments affecting the retail landscape, as the session progresses towards its conclusion in late May.
