"We're going to be in four buildings over the weekend. It's going to be a huge event."
Saskatchewan will soon be joining Alberta and a number of American states in a coalition dedicated to improving energy security.
According to the provincial government, the goal of the Governor’s Coalition on Energy Security is to enhance and protect energy options, and those efforts “will lead to lower energy costs, increased reliability, sustainable economic development and responsible management of energy resources.”

According to the group’s website, the coalition represents “An alliance of state leaders dedicated to ensuring affordable, reliable and diverse energy options for American families and businesses.”
The announcement comes as Canada’s energy sector faces threats of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. Saskatchewan exports 21 million cubic metres of oil to the U.S. each year, the province noted.
“It is an honor to join the Governors Coalition for Energy Security and I thank (Louisiana) Governor (Jeff) Landry for the invitation,” Premier Scott Moe said in a statement.
“Saskatchewan is abundant in oil, high-grade uranium, and critical minerals, which are vital to both our local economy and North American energy security. As a stable and dependable partner, Saskatchewan plays a crucial role in securing energy resources, strengthened by the strong relationship we maintain with our neighbors to the south.”
“Saskatchewan’s joining demonstrates the power of the principles and vision of GCES, and the growing recognition in governments in both the U.S. and Canada that energy issues are fundamental to the economic and day-to-day wellbeing of our citizens,” Landry said, quoted in a release from the Government of Saskatchewan.
“We welcome Premier Scott Moe and the talent, input and insight he will bring to help us all enhance and protect energy options, lower energy costs, and increase reliability for our people.”
