Bill 604 — The Referendum and Plebiscite (Keep Saskatchewan in Canada) Amendment Act

Amends Saskatchewan's referendum law to prevent the government from initiating a vote on seceding from Canada and to raise the petition threshold for such a vote.

  • Bars the Government, Lieutenant Governor in Council, or Legislative Assembly from starting a plebiscite or referendum on Saskatchewan leaving Canada
  • Requires any citizen petition for a secession plebiscite to be signed by at least 30% of electors
  • This raises the signature threshold above the normal rule for petitions under the Act
  • Adds a new section 2.1 to The Referendum and Plebiscite Act
  • Takes effect immediately upon receiving Assent

✋ 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.
