After reading through the Saskatchewan Party’s platform, which was released yesterday, the provincial NDP ridiculed Scott Moe and claimed his tax credits are small, ignore the people that need them most, and take too long to come into effect.

In a written news release, Trent Wotherspoon, Saskatchewan NDP candidate for Regina Mount Royal, alleged that “Moe’s tax cut will save some families as little as $42 in the first year and that his tax credit for in-vitro fertilization requires $20,000 upfront.”

The Opposition also noted that the platform ignores the need to help overrun Saskatchewan emergency rooms. The party says it does nothing to recruit new doctors and healthcare workers or reduce class size and complexity.

In response, The Saskatchewan Party says the platform does, in fact, include record increases to health and education in the 2024-25 budget: these being a $726 million or 10 per cent increase in health funding and a $247 million or eight per cent lift in education funding.
