Sask. Party’s worst-in-the-nation jobs record worsening cost-of-living crisis
REGINA - Today, in light of new numbers from Statistics Canada and Angus Reid, Official Opposition Finance Critic Trent Wotherspoon put Premier Scott Moe on blast during question period for having no plan to address his worst-in-the-nation record on jobs and the cost-of-living crisis.

Scott Moe is out of touch and working families are paying the price.”
