The Corporation owns and operates natural gas- related businesses located both within and outside of Saskatchewan. The condensed consolidated financial statements should not be taken as indicative of the performance to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the natural gas utility business.

Accordingly, the financial results of SaskEnergy are included in the consolidated financial statements of CIC. As a provincial Crown corporation, SaskEnergy and its wholly owned subsidiaries are not subject to Federal or Provincial income taxes in Canada. The SaskEnergy Act was amended in December 2023. The amendment provided that, as of January 1, 2024, and for the purposes of Part 1 of the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act ( GGPPA ), the Provincial Crown is the sole registered distributor of natural gas in Saskatchewan, in place of the Corporation. Pursuant to the amendment, the Corporation shall not have the power, right, authority, responsibility or obligation to pay or withhold payment of any charge, tax, levy, remittance or other payment arising from the delivery of natural gas required by Part 1 of the GGPPA .
