In their own words

• The Rural Municipal (RM) Tax Loss Compensation Fund and the Rural Municipal Specific Claims Tax Loss Compensation Fund, which are tied to the Saskatchewan Treaty Land Entitlement Framework Agreement, continue to decrease in funds and is unsustainable without municipalities absorbing significant reduction in monies from the Funds. The Agreement need to be reviewed.
• Rural Economic Development - SARM seeks to find ways to expand the rural workforce, explore ideas that foster innovation, be a catalyst for economic investments and provide rural municipalities with the much-needed tools to ensure that Saskatchewan can continue to support Canada's economic growth and development.
• Fertilizer reduction – focus on an absolute emissions reduction, rather than an intensity-based target, is misplaced and will likely cause severe economic harm & more emissions can be reduced through increased uptake of the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program while improving the competitiveness and profit of farmers
