The Ministry of Energy and Resources (ER) is consulting with stakeholders on proposed amendments to The Surface Rights Acquisition and Compensation Act and The Oil and Gas Conservation Act. The amendments aim to enhance the ability of the Saskatchewan Surface Rights Board of Arbitration (Board) and ER to enforce payment of compensation owing pursuant to a surface lease or a Board order.
Details on the proposed amendments may be found at Notice of Consultation: Enforcement of Payment of Surface Rights Compensation. Please submit written feedback on the proposed regulatory enhancements to the ER Service Desk at er.servicedesk@gov.sk.ca by May 6, 2022.
