Additional cash won’t reverse cuts: MLA
Prince Albert’s New Democrat MLA doesn’t believe additional funding from the federal government will do anything to reverse the cuts made to education by the province.
The Trudeau government committed $7.5 billion to the provinces and territories over the next 11 years, which includes money specifically targeted towards early education and child care programs over the next three years.
MLA Nicole Rancourt (NDP, Prince Albert Northcote) said she was happy to see the funding announcement as she hoped it would address a number of issues including long wait times for early child care spots.
But the biggest concern for Rancourt was the SaskParty’s plan for the additional dollars.
