NDP call on Sask Party to ‘invest wisely in Saskatchewan people’ in upcoming budget

Apr 5, 2018 | 2:00 PM

The Saskatchewan NDP has called on the Sask Party government to “invest wisely in Saskatchewan people” in their upcoming provincial budget.

Newly-minted NDP Leader Ryan Meili said this budget needs to look far into the future to ensure continued economic growth rather than relying on short-term solutions.

“What we need in this budget are the right investments that will get Saskatchewan people back to work and grow the economy,” Meili said in a statement.

“The Sask Party has taken a short-sighted approach in previous budgets, spending excessively on pet projects while cutting the core services that are the foundation for future prosperity.”
