REGINA – Saskatchewan’s government has introduced legislation it says aims to reduce interprovincial trade barriers. 

The province says The Saskatchewan Internal Trade Promotion Act enables mutual recognition of goods and services entering the province from other Canadian jurisdictions. 

It says the change allows Saskatchewan to recognize similar regulatory requirements in other provinces, which helps speed up approval processes for businesses.

Trade minister Warren Kaeding says the legislation aims to further grow the province’s economy. 

Saskatchewan has been among various provinces working to enhance internal trade in response to tariffs imposed by the United States and China. 

Earlier this year, Saskatchewan signed memorandums of understanding with Ontario, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island to reduce trade barriers. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 28, 2025.
