Following the release of the Sask Party’s and the NDP’s platform last week, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released new totals for each party’s spending commitments. Details have been posted on the CTF’s Saskatchewan Election site - www.SpendingTracker.ca.
New spending totals for each party are now as follows:
NDP: $2.555 billion
Sask Party: $355.1 million
Liberal Party: -$3.376 billion
Note: Totals represent new spending commitments over the next four years and do not include tax relief estimates. The NDP’s resource revenue sharing commitment has not been costed and is therefore not reflected in their total.
“This isn’t one of those elections where someone can say ‘all the parties are the same,” said CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig. “The three main parties have put forward some very different visions for Saskatchewan.”
