SASKATCHEWAN NDP CALLS FOR A MADE-IN-SASKATCHEWAN STRATEGY AS JOBS LOST MOUNT IN PRINCE ALBERT, SASKATCHEWAN’S NORTH

PRINCE ALBERT – The latest December 2024 job numbers by Statistics Canada show that the Prince Albert and Northern economic area of Saskatchewan lost another 700 jobs last month. Overall, there are 1,100 fewer jobs in the region since Scott Moe became Premier in February 2018. 

“This isn’t just a bad month for the region. If you look at the Sask. Party’s record, they have consistently ignored Prince Albert and the North’s economic potential,” said Aleana Young, Shadow Minister for Jobs and the Economy.  

“It’s time to recognize the opportunity we have in our communities and work with job creators on the ground to create that economic prosperity that all Northerners deserve.” 

As Saskatchewan faces the threat of a potential 25 per cent tariff from the incoming Trump administration, Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck and the Saskatchewan NDP has been advocated for a Made-in-Saskatchewan strategy that would prioritize Saskatchewan workers, businesses and manufacturing. 

“When you invest in Saskatchewan workers and businesses, you see the result across the region. People take that money and invest it locally, building even more opportunity,” Young said. “It's time to unlock our potential, invest in putting Saskatchewan workers and businesses first and build up our communities.”
