The Sask. Party passed a bill that would let them sell off our Crown Corporations, and only backed away after staunch opposition from the NDP and the people of the province;
Saskatchewan’s Crown Corporations like SaskTel, SaskPower, SaskEnergy and SGI are drivers of innovation, good employers, important sources of revenue, and strong pillars of a healthy economy;
Our Crowns return hundreds of millions in dividends each year to pay for schools, roads, and hospitals;
Despite promises to protect our Crowns, the Sask. Party shut down STC and had plans to put other crowns like SaskTel on the chopping block; And we learned the Sask. Party established a secret committee to sell off SaskTel.
The Sask. Party can’t be trusted with Saskatchewan’s Crown Corporations, which should remain in the hands of Saskatchewan people.
