The Saskatchewan Party is now out with its election platform.

 

Leader Brad Wall released the document Saturday in Saskatoon. The platform contains the party's promises if re-elected on November 7th, including help for students and seniors, a pledge to hire more police officers, a plan to forgive student loans to doctors who practice in rural communities, and investment in highways, parks and community arenas.

Wall says the total cost of the Sask Party platform is $414 million over four years, a sharp contrast to the New Democrats' $3.1 billion platform.

 

The NDP offered their response to the Sask Party's platform on Saturday, saying it fails to address the needs of today’s Saskatchewan families and contains no long-term vision for the future. The party added that the Sask Party’s top priority is what they called a royalty giveaway to potash companies worth $700 million in the final year of their fiscal plan.
