The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan is one of two components of the Legislature of Saskatchewan, the other being the Queen of Canada in Right of Saskatchewan, (represented by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan). The Legislature has been unicameral since its establishment; there has never been a provincial upper house.
The Legislature meets at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina.
There are 61 ridings in the province which elect MLAs to the Legislative Assembly. All are single-member districts, though the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw have been represented by multi-member constituencies in the past.
The current party standings in the legislature are as follows:
For current cabinet see Executive Council of Saskatchewan.
In September 2013 the Legislature established the position of Usher of the Black Rod. Their role is functionally similar to the one for the Senate of Canada. Rick Mantey was the first person to hold the office. The current Usher of the Black Rod, as of 2014, is Ben Walsh.
The Black Rod was made by Scott Olson Goldsmith of Regina.
