Help Cut Red Tape in Saskatchewan
Official title: Help Cut Red Tape
Saskatchewan wants to hear about regulations that frustrate you. Whether you're a business owner dealing with permits or a resident navigating government forms, they want specific examples of red tape that wastes your time. The province says it's already saved businesses $692 million since 2014 by cutting unnecessary rules.
Why This Matters
Ever spent hours filling out government forms that ask for the same information twice? Or waited weeks for a permit that should take days? This is your chance to tell the government exactly what's slowing you down. They're tracking 232,600 compliance requirements—and looking for ones to cut.
What Could Change
Regulations you flag could be simplified, merged, or eliminated entirely. The Ministry of Trade and Export Development reviews each submission and routes it to the right department. Past efforts have already cut $692 million in regulatory costs for businesses.
