The Saskatchewan NDP announced changes to critic portfolios just over a week after announcing a new interim leader.

The changes include:
- Ryan Meili, who is running for permanent NDP leadership, is taking over as the critic for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.
- Danielle Chartier is taking over the status of women portfolio.
- Trent Wotherspoon, who is considering running for permanent NDP leadership, will be taking on the jobs portfolio.
- Nicole Rancourt is the new deputy whip in the legislature.
- Carla Beck is taking over as deputy house leader and becoming a sitting member of the public accounts committee.
MLAs with additional portfolios and roles are keeping their previous portfolios.
