Premier Brad Wall has outlined what he says will be the Saskatchewan Party's most expensive promise in the November 7th election campaign.

Wall says his party, if re-elected, would expand the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability program to people with disabilities living outside residential care facilities. He says the Sask. Party would also look to increase benefits for all people with disabilities.

The program currently supports about 3000 people in residential care, and the change would add about 7000 people.

Meanwhile, post-secondary students in Saskatchewan could look forward to a tuition freeze if the New Democrats win the election.

Party Leader Dwain Lingenfelter says the freeze would last 4 years and his government would also regulate any fees that universities and colleges charge. They would also work to improve student loans.

Lingenfelter says it's important that a new generation of trained and educated people can actually afford their education.
