The Saskatchewan NDP’s plan focuses on lowering costs for families, protecting renters, and delivering affordable childcare. Carla Beck and her team are committed to easing the financial burden on Saskatchewan families.

Commitments for Change

  • Cut the gas tax on Day 1, saving the average family more than $350 in the first six months.
  • Cut the provincial sales tax (PST) on groceries to bring your food bills down before the holidays.
  • Remove the PST from children’s clothing to save families money in time for Christmas.
  • Pass a Landlord and Tenant Rent Protection Act to protect renters, help them keep a roof over their heads and limit how often and how much rents can increase.
  • Scrap the harmful changes made to the Saskatchewan Income Support program and restore the direct payment of rent and utilities.
  • Add more affordable housing units to the market, giving more families access to a home of their own.
  • Open the $10-per-day childcare spaces that were promised to Saskatchewan families but never delivered on by the Sask. Party.
  • Make sure no kid goes hungry through a school lunch program accessible across the province.
