Conway asks how can the Premier keep opening UCCs if he can't keep one open.
Carr says we can't the NDP seriously. She says we're enhancing services, and we're going to build more UCCs. #skpoli
Lori Carr says the UCC has taken 65,000 patients away from emergency rooms, which has opened up spaces in hospitals.
Conway says the answer to that question is 12 days. #skpoli
NDP's Conway is up on the reduced hours of the Urgent Care Centre in Regina, which was promised to operate 24-7. She is asking the Premier how many times the UCC was closed. #skpoli
NDP's Keith Jorgenson is asking about hospital safety, citing past cases of people bringing in weapons and threats against staff.
Community Safety Minister Michael Weger says I've done ride-a-longs in communities and security is there to assist. #skpoli
Carr says we're building a hospital in PA, which services the entire north, and we've waived part of the community share. #skpoli
NDP's Jared Clarke is up on cancer patients having to pay for parking at hospitals.
Rural Health Minister Lori Carr says we're putting patients first by expanding services in our new plan.
Clarke says a government casino in Regina has free parking, but not the hospital. #skpoli
Speaker say we need to move on from question. NDP's Meara Conway not happy with that, shaking her head. #skpoli
Question Period is on. Deputy Leader Vicki Mowat is asking about when the Premier knew power rates were going to up.
CIC Minister Jeremy Harrison says he already gave this answer.
NDP's Aleana Young is asking about when the Premier knew. #skpoli
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe trumpeted new gun legislation passed Wednesday by his government, while praising his justice minister as “the hottest lawyer in the province.” panow.com/2026/03/11/p... #skpoli #cdnpoli

Cockrill says it's easy to oppose, it's easy to close -- which is what they did when they were last government. The PA hospital will serve northern half of this province. Community share costs are going down to 10 per cent, he says. #skpoli
McPhail says the PA hospital is overrun and people are getting care in hallways. Why is Premier sitting on hands while PA is overrun. #skpoli
Cockrill says you can't take the NDP seriously. He says the arrangement with PA was well known for years. He says we're covering $200 million of the community share. #skpoli
NDP's Jordan McPhail is up on the Victoria Hospital Expansion, and the city has to pay $30 million for furniture. Will the gov't confirm PA won't have to write a cheque? #skpoli
Cockrill says we've been working and meeting with health workers on this. On bargaining, he says we'll get to a fair deal at the table. #skpoli
NDP's Jared Clarke is up on the Saskatchewan Party's new health care plan. He says the gov't did not consult with health workers. One had only received a $3 raise while executives saw much larger pay increases, he says. Why did he not consult? #skpoli
Marit says our gov't has stood up the most for farmers and ranchers. He says we've got the tools in place on this and there is no cases. If Wotherspoon knows of a case, I ask him to table it. #skpoli
Wotherspoon says this ag minister looked the other way and is dismissing real concerns. Does the ag minister really think the status quo is good enough? #skpoli
Ag minister David Marit says he values farmland ownership. He says we've always listened to producers and have strengthened regulations and implemented all the recommendations the auditor put forward. The board is now asking for all statutory declarations. #skpoli
Trent Wotherspoon says the government has 18 years to get tough on illegal farm ownership. He says fines are a drop in the bucket, a slap in the wrist -- and hardworking producers shouldn't have to compete with foreign entities. When will the gov't get tough on this? #skpoli
Moe says the minister has made some changes and we're consulting on this issue. He says you have to be a Canadian if you're going to own farmland in Saskatchewan. #skpoli
Beck says the government is failing to take action on illegal foreign ownership, and SARM has spoken on the need for action on this. Does the premier the laws we have are good enough to protect SK farmland? #skpoli
Moe says those in rural SK can be thankful they're not living in NDP BC and Manitoba. He says we're focusing on providing affordable power and we're not paying the carbon tax in SK. #skpoli
Beck says SARM took a strong stance against these power hikes, putting family farms at risk. But the premier is making it harder and more expensive, she says. Will he support our bill to stop these rate hikes? #skpoli
Moe says there's a process when there's an application to change utility rates. He says our utility rates are second lowest in the nation. #skpoli
Beck says let's review the timeline. The board met in November, and in December, the premier denied rumors of the hike. The rate hike was announced in Jan. When did they know this rate hike was coming? #skpoli
Premier Scott Moe says we're starting to see power rates increasing due to inflationary pressures. He says NDP BC had a rate hike last year, and is citing other provinces hiking rates. #skpoli
Question Period. NDP Leader Carla Beck is up about the SaskPower rate hike. Why? #skpoli
