The 29th Saskatchewan Legislature was elected at the 2020 Saskatchewan general election. [1]

Notably, this is the first Saskatchewan Legislature in which some government members will sit on the Speaker's left. The Saskatchewan Legislature chamber is among the most spacious of all Westminster parliaments relative to its number of members, meaning that the entire government caucus is usually able to sit on the Speaker's right regardless of the size of its majority. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, desks have been spaced out as much as possible to satisfy physical distancing requirements, an arrangement which made it necessary to place a relatively equal number of desks on both sides of the aisle.[ citation needed ]
