Official Opposition Labour Critic introduces the Saskatchewan Employment (Fairer Workplace, Better Jobs) Act

REGINA - Late yesterday, Opposition Labour Critic Nicole Sarauer introduced Bill 613 - The Saskatchewan Employment (Fairer Workplace, Better Jobs) Act. The Act would notably strengthen workplace protections and increase fairness for workers currently struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.

Today, Official Opposition Leader Carla Beck and Health Critic Vicki Mowat grilled the Sask Party government for sitting on its hands while Saskatchewan’s only PET scan machine, used to check for signs of cancer, heart disease and brain disorders, was closed for weeks.

REGINA - Today, Official Opposition Leader Carla Beck called on the Premier to denounce Alberta’s reckless plan to withdraw from the Canadian Pension Plan and to stand up and protect Saskatchewan pensioners during one of the most crushing cost-of-living crisis in decades. The Premier refused to stand and take questions while his Finance Minister offered cagey and mealy-mouthed statements without committing to protecting Saskatchewan retirees and workers.
