NDP ready to hold Sask. Party to account for cuts, sell-offs and growing deficit

With a new NDP MLA and the Spring Session set to begin on Monday, NDP Leader Trent Wotherspoon said the NDP Opposition will continue to pressure the government to stop making Saskatchewan people pay for Sask. Party mismanagement, scandal and waste with their callous cuts and desperate sell-offs.

“I’ve been hearing it across the province and we just heard it loud and clear from the people of Meewasin,” Wotherspoon said. “Saskatchewan people are fed up with the Sask. Party’s lies about the deficit and debt, the billions wasted through mismanagement like the bypass overrun, and the GTH land scandal, and they aren’t going to stand by while the Sask. Party forces them to pay the price. The NDP will continue to push for accountability, honesty, and an end to Sask. Party cuts to the services we need like education and health care, and schemes to sell-off SaskTel and our valuable Crowns.”

Sask. Party budget dishonesty is nothing short of offensive: Wotherspoon

Less than a month after the Premier announced their deficit had reached $1.2 billion, NDP Leader Trent Wotherspoon says it is now clear that the Sask. Party is making the numbers up as they go and refusing to be honest with Saskatchewan people.

Sask. Party must come clean and release Q3 financial update: NDP

Party to stop hiding the truth and release the overdue third quarter financial update.

Sask. Party Tweets of appreciation don’t make up for education cuts

Despite the Sask. Party’s clear record of cuts and claw backs in education, today, the Premier took to Twitter acknowledge Teacher Appreciation Week and claim his own appreciation.
