NDP Leader Ryan Meili met with out of work trade workers Monday.
Meili is joining them in calling for the current provincial government to introduce a community benefits agreement.
The agreement would ensure trade workers in Saskatchewan would work on Saskatchewan infrastructure projects.
Meili during Question Period Monday afternoon called on the government for giving contracts for infrastructure projects to out-of-province companies.
Meili says the government’s procurement model is not only holding workers back but the entire province.
A journeyman pipefitter from Regina, Troy Knipple says it’s frustrating to see big projects move forward in the province while local workers can’t find work on them.
