Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan Stakeholder Survey

The Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan works to simplify and modernize the province’s laws. The Commission is empowered by The Law Reform Commission Act to keep under review all law in Saskatchewan and to initiate projects that consider the systematic development and reform of both legislation and the common law. Projects are undertaken at the request of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General as well as in response to suggestions from the public at large, including members of the legal community.

Consultation is central to the Commission’s work. The Commission relies on the expertise of the legal community and other stakeholders to make informed recommendations to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General. The Commission has been in operation since 1974.

The Commission is reaching out to stakeholders to hear their perspectives and thoughts on the work of the Commission. Your responses to this survey are anonymous. If you would like to share your name or organization with the Commission, please do so in response to the ninth question.
