Affordability and Cost of Living

The Assembly was debating the following motion moved by Jennifer Bowes (NDP - Saskatoon University):

That the Assembly condemns the government for the lack of action to address affordability and the 32 new tax and fee hikes imposed on Saskatchewan people, who are struggling with increasing cost of living.

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Now I know all the members across are urban, but I’d like to inform them that everything comes into the grocery store on a truck. The provincial gas tax has not changed since 1993 when it was raised under the NDP. That means the last government adjustment on the price of fuel was the carbon tax.

Will the member from Saskatoon University call on the federal government, Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau, to remove the carbon tax? Yes or no?

Ms. Bowes: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you for the question. The member is straining from the back to hear my response on this. And my response, Mr. Speaker . . .

The Deputy Speaker: — The 75-minute debate period has expired.
