The Saskatchewan government has announced relief measures meant to help the oil and gas sector in the province. The relief measures include reducing the industry's portion of the Oil and Gas Administrative Levy by 50 per cent this fiscal year and delaying the invoicing for the remaining balance until October. Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre says extending mineral rights could allow companies more time to drill and produce oil. "We recognize this isn't only an oil and gas sector impact. That said, the impact in recent weeks on the oil and gas sector has been extreme and in a class on its own."
