Government’s Record on Jobs, Affordability, and Health Care

The Assembly was debating the following motion moved by Trent Wotherspoon (NDP - Regina Rosemont):

That the Assembly condemns the government for its unacceptable record of failure on job creation, on health care, and providing relief for families struggling with the cost of living.

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The members opposite are very critical of the rising power bills from SaskPower to Saskatchewan people. Thanks to publicly available data, we know that our fleet of coal-fired power plants are the most affordable way we have of generating baseload power. Will the member from Regina Douglas Park advocate for extending the use of our coal-fired power stations into the future?

Ms. Sarauer: — Mr. Speaker, classic Sask Party move to blame everything else on everybody else except for themselves. Yeah, we are critical of the raising power hikes and energy hikes that this government is doing and the impact that is having on Saskatchewan people and Saskatchewan workers. We will continue to listen to Saskatchewan workers and fight for Saskatchewan workers. That . . .

The Deputy Chair of Committees: — The 75-minute debate has expired.
