On the innovation front, she was instrumental in securing both federal and provincial investment into VIDO Intervac's research for a vaccine for COVID-19 as well as funds for their planned manufacturing facility.[7][failed verification]
As Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, she partnered with Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan to launch the first-in-Canada Women's Economic Advisory table.[8] She was also instrumental in ensuring that Saskatchewan was the first province in Canada to enact Clare's Law to support potential victims of interpersonal violence as well as numerous other initiatives, including bringing attention to sexual assault victims.[9][10]
