Sources
Verification note. Toplines retrieved from the Angus Reid Institute release page. UPDATED 2026-08-27: the linked release PDF (2023.12.04_Sask_gender.pdf) was retrieved and supplied the previously missing methodology - online survey 24 November to 1 December 2023 among a representative randomized sample of 350 Saskatchewan adults who are members of the Angus Reid Forum, quoted MOE +/-5 points. Note the small provincial n. The PDF's stacked-bar charts extract as scrambled text, so subgroup percentages were not transcribed from the graphics; question wording remains close paraphrase except where the PDF states the stem verbatim.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

Do you support or oppose Bill 137?
Wording reconstructed from: Paraphrased from the Angus Reid Institute release; the fielded wording, which included a descriptive preamble about the bill and the notwithstanding clause, is in the linked PDF and was not retrieved.
unclear — the fielded stem and its preamble were not retrieved, so framing cannot be judged
Parental rightsparaphrasedforced choice
whether exceptions to parental notification should exist where abuse is suspected
Which of these statements is closer to your view (even if you don't agree with either entirely)? [Whether there should be exceptions to informing parents if the school believes the child may be in an abusive household, or whether parents should always be informed if their child is considering their gender identity at school]
Wording reconstructed from: The stem 'Which of these statements is closer to your view (even if you don't agree with either entirely)?' is verbatim from the ARI release PDF chart heading; the two statement texts themselves are ARI's prose description, not the fielded option labels.
