Redistribution
Saskatoon—Wanuskewin loses Lily Plain and areas south to McDowell to Prince Albert to reflect the geographic reality that associates them with the city of Prince Albert. Saskatoon—Humboldt loses a northern section east of the South Saskatchewan containing Batoche to Kinistino to Prince Albert. Prince Albert gets a section in the south of Desnethé–Missinippi–Churchill River north of where the two great branches join to form the Saskatchewan River. It contains an east-west strip of small communities along Highway 55.
