Legislation was recently introduced to allow a private-sector Information Services Corporation (ISC) to manage and operate public registries on behalf of the Saskatchewan government. 'This legislation paves the way for an effective government relationship with a private-sector ISC,' Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. 'Though ISC's relationship with the government will change, the secure services it provides to the public will not.' The Office of Public Registry Statutes Act allows for service agreements between the government and ISC that identify the division of powers and responsibilities over public registries. Affected registries include: the Land Registry, the Personal Property Registry and the Business Corporations Registry. While the public will still access these registries through ISC, the government remains ultimately responsible for them. _ Government of Saskatchewan
