In response to the Sask. Party’s introduction of outdated estimates in place of a 2020-21 budget, NDP Leader Ryan Meili called the Sask. Party’s gesture a failed response to the arrival of COVID-19, and called on Scott Moe to take urgent action to support Saskatchewan people’s health and economic wellbeing.
“People in Saskatchewan were already struggling to make ends meet before COVID-19 upended our lives and our economy,” said Meili. “Today federal measures were announced today that will reduce some of the pressure. Now we as a province need to step up immediately with matching measures to flatten the curve, support the delivery of health services, and get Saskatchewan people and businesses the support they need to weather this difficult moment.”
