Saskatchewan
has long been known as an affordable place to live, with a quality of
life that simply can’t be beat, but the Saskatchewan dream of getting
the job and then the house, car and family vacations is slipping away
from more and more Saskatchewan people.
Thanks to the industriousness of Saskatchewan people, combined with
sound financial management of successive NDP governments,
Saskatchewan’s economy is firing on all cylinders and creating
prosperity. There’s no doubt Saskatchewan is booming but are all
Saskatchewan people sharing in the benefits?
Saskatchewan’s economic momentum has brought with it challenges for
hard working Saskatchewan families, our senior citizens and young
people just starting out; challenges the Sask Party is either
unprepared or unwilling to address.
While provincial coffers are bursting at the seams, many people are
finding it harder and harder to make ends meet or to enjoy the
traditionally high quality of life Saskatchewan people have come to
expect.
While the Sask Party rakes in billions of extra dollars, Saskatchewan
citizens are facing increased costs of living; including soaring
utility rates, rising rents and housing costs, and sky-rocketing fuel
prices.
The NDP believes it’s time for the Sask Party to look after the
citizens who helped build this province.
The NDP will continue to put
pressure on the Sask Party to share the benefits of our booming economy
with Saskatchewan people and to ensure Saskatchewan stays affordable
for average Saskatchewan families.
