It’s the second throne speech since last year’s provincial election, which saw Moe’s Saskatchewan Party retain its grip on power.

The Opposition NDP has said it plans to question the premier on affordability issues, hospitals and damaging canola tariffs from China.

It says Moe needs to stand up for farmers and make it clear that he wants Canada to scrap its tariff on Chinese electric vehicles.

Moe has said it’s not easy to remove the levy and that Canada should only do so if it remains on good terms with the United States.
