BECK CALLS FOR ACTION ON SASKATCHEWAN PRIORITIES IN LETTERS TO FEDERAL MINISTERS

REGINA – As the sitting resumes in the House of Commons, Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck sent five letters to a total of nine ministers in Carney’s cabinet calling for action on Saskatchewan issues that have too often been ignored by federal governments of all stripes.

“Canadians were incredibly frustrated with Justin Trudeau’s government and his failure to deliver results on important files,” said Beck. “It’s no secret that this frustration was felt more strongly in Saskatchewan than anywhere else in Canada.

“We need to see real progress on these critical issues facing our country. This is a critical moment of consensus, where we can focus on our future and get generational projects built.”

Beck’s federal priorities include:

Changing the equalization formula to be fairer for Saskatchewan
Making generational investments in infrastructure to get Saskatchewan’s exports to new markets, including more rail lines, pipelines and power lines
Renewing the $10/day childcare agreement
Repealing Bill C-69 and revising the Clean Electricity Regulations
Building a stronger relationship with Indigenous peoples based on action, not just promises
Protecting workers and businesses from the impact of tariffs while working day and night to get them removed

“The new Prime Minister has committed to a new approach, and I am optimistic that his commitment will be met by real action by this new government on the issues that matter most to people in my province,” Beck said.

“Our economy needs to be more resilient in the face of Donald Trump’s threats and the people of Western Canada deserve to see a bright future for themselves by staying in a strong and united Canada.”
