The spring sitting of the Saskatchewan legislature has wrapped up after debate on labour legislation, private liquor stores, the sale of a Crown corporation and seniors care.

Fifty-three pieces of legislation were passed, including one private member's bill to make reporting of asbestos in public buildings mandatory.

Premier Brad Wall says he thinks the highlight of the spring sitting was presenting a balanced budget.

Wall says it was also important to pass new labour legislation that he believes will modernize employment rules.

For Cam Broten, it was his first session as NDP leader and he says each week he felt more comfortable in the role.

Broten says the highlight for him was raising concerns brought forward by people, especially on seniors care.
