The United Party released their party platform on Wednesday and some of the highlights include cutting the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) in half, from 6 per cent to 3 per cent. The Sask United Party suggests a 65 per cent discount on property taxes for primary residences to all citizens 65 years or older.
On the healthcare front, they say non-government clinics would be able to build facilities and provide services to meet demand but remain publicly funded through government contracts. They also promise to open more medical school seats and residency spots here in the province. As well, retention bonuses will be offered for healthcare professionals who choose to stay and work in Saskatchewan
The United Party says it will “remove ideology in the education curriculum ensuring schools are places of learning, not forums for activism and indoctrination.” As well, they would implement standardized testing to address what the party describes as the current low rankings of Saskatchewan children in reading, writing, science, and mathematics compared to the rest of Canada.
