Beck welcomes MLA Teed following historic Meewasin win
PRINCE ALBERT - Fresh off a historic win in the Saskatoon Meewasin by-election, Official Opposition Leader Carla Beck today welcomed MLA Nathaniel Teed to the NDP Caucus and revealed fall session priorities with the creation of critic portfolios for affordability, jobs and rural and remote health.
“In the last three months, I’ve had the honour of traveling across Saskatchewan, putting nearly thirty thousand kilometers on my car,” said Beck. “Whether it’s on main street or shop floors, the messages are the same - Scott Moe’s Sask. Party has given up on helping people and aren’t going to bat on issues Saskatchewan people are facing. Whether it’s cost-of-living, job creation or our crumbling health system, Scott Moe is missing in action.”
This summer, Beck and her MLAs crossed the province highlighting short-staffing and bed and hospital closures. In Assiniboia, Canora, Shellbrook, Kamsack, Yorkton and Meadow Lake, Beck and her team highlighted gaps in health services people rely on. Matt Love will become the new Critic for Rural and Remote Health to advocate on behalf of residents in smaller centres and rural and remote areas.
With the Sask. Party still failing to deliver any affordability relief for families, Trent Wotherspoon, who holds the finance portfolio, has been tapped as Affordability Critic. Aleana Young, Critic for Jobs and the Economy, has taken on the Energy and Resources file.
Nathaniel Teed, a small business owner, teacher and the newest addition to the NDP Caucus, will become Critic for Parks, Culture and Sport, Tourism, SLGA, SaskGaming, and SGI.
