Saskatchewan Party lays out full election platform

Oct 9, 2020 | 4:00 PM

The Saskatchewan Party has released its platform for the Oct. 26 provincial election.

“We have a plan for a strong recovery,” party leader Scott Moe said in a media release Friday. “We have a plan to make life more affordable — for students, seniors, families, homeowners and everyone …

“Our plan means a strong economy, strong communities and strong families, and together, that means a strong Saskatchewan.”

According to the release, the cost of the platform is $93 million in the current fiscal year, $345.3 million in 2021-22, $205.3 million in 2022-23, $123.6 million in 2023-24 and $81.6 million in 2024-25.

“The costs are higher in the first years as some of the measures are temporary to provide an economic stimulus to drive the recovery from the (COVID-19) pandemic,” the release said. “The provincial budget will be balanced with a small surplus in 2024-25.”
