Saskatchewan NDP MLAs convened an emergency caucus, call for U.S. liquor to be removed from shelves and a Canada-first procurement policy
REGINA – Saskatchewan NDP MLAs were at the Legislature Monday ready to do the work and mount a united front against President Donald Trump’s 25 per cent tariff on Canadian exports. While the Sask. Party government has yet to recall the Legislature for an emergency session, Beck spoke directly to Saskatchewan people about the importance of a unified response.
“This is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history, as Canada faces an unprecedented challenge to our economic stability and sovereignty,” Beck said. “The imposition of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods is not merely an attack on trade — it is an attack on the jobs, livelihoods, and sovereignty of the Canadian and Saskatchewan people.
“This assault on our economy cannot go unanswered, and it is imperative that we stand united to protect our communities, our workers and their livelihoods.”
Saskatchewan NDP MLAs convened an emergency caucus meeting at the Legislature on Monday to protect Saskatchewan economy. At the meeting, Beck laid out three clear objectives:
On Sunday, Beck and several Saskatchewan NDP colleagues wrote to Premier Moe calling on him to immediately direct the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority to cease ordering liquor, beer, and wine from the United States.
She also called on the Sask. Party government to do the right thing and fix the regressive, punitive tax on local distillers that’s been hurting economic growth and that’s killed jobs in Saskatchewan. Finally, Beck advocated for a Canada-first procurement policy to be implemented.
“To the people of Saskatchewan, I know the economic uncertainty put upon us by those we considered our closest friends is upsetting. But we must stand together and maintain our resolve and have confidence that we have the strength to overcome this,” said Beck.
“We are ready to stand up for Saskatchewan, to stand up for Canada. To work across provincial borders – and party lines – in defense of something bigger. Our way of life. Our shared values. Our future. Together, there is nothing we can’t overcome.”
