In theory, I think it sounds like a great idea. There's nothing there, as far as I'm concerned, in having Saskatchewan people focusing on future Saskatchewan residents; I think it's great in theory.
However, it is still the federal government's role, with respect to security, to actually get those people processed in their home countries and get them to Saskatchewan in the first place. That in itself also needs to be ironed out. If the permits or the papers were issued at the home consulates or embassies quickly and easily, that would make it a lot easier within the province.
Settlement services themselves, if they were funding.... I don't know, but I know they're certainly handled at a provincial level or through non-profit organizations, as it is. But we still need to iron out some of the federal processes, even if we did change the rest of it to provincial.
