Minister Jeremy Harrison insists this balances affordability with fund sustainability, noting repair costs jumped $3K from 2022 alone. The average driver will pay about $39 more annually after the second increase, or roughly $3/month more than 2026, with rates varying by vehicle class. CEO Kent Campbell warns without adjustments, long-term stability could be at risk, stressing efficiency measures are underway. Meanwhile, opposition critic Darcy Warrington argues Saskatchewan drivers are already struggling with rising costs and shouldn’t face another burden.
