Bill 47 — The Response to Illicit Drugs Act

Assented to on 2026-05-14 · Sponsor: Tim McLeod

Creates new legal tools letting the Saskatchewan government and individuals sue drug traffickers to recover health and other costs caused by illicit drugs.

  • Lets the Government directly sue people who traffic, import or produce illicit drugs to recover health care and related costs
  • Allows the Government to claim costs on an aggregate, population-wide basis without identifying individual patients
  • Creates a new legal wrong (tort) letting individuals sue for injury, illness or death caused by illicit drugs
  • Sets up rebuttable legal presumptions that make it easier to prove a drug caused harm or costs
  • Lets courts assign liability among multiple defendants based on their share of risk contribution
  • Allows government appointments, grants and contracts to be cancelled if the person is convicted of a drug trafficking offence
  • Blocks lawsuits against the Government for cancelling such appointments, grants or agreements under this Act

✋ What is “challenging”?

One click on “Ask for an explanation” = a citizen request for the bill's sponsor to explain it in plain language, and for us to keep an eye on it together.

An account (email) is required — one request per person, no anonymous requests. Each bill's total is public: it shows which bills people want explained.
