Saskatchewan NDP demands emergency session over rising costs; government rejects, calls measures sufficient.
The Saskatchewan NDP is calling for an emergency legislative session to address rising living costs, citing proposed 3.9% electricity hikes by SaskPower and 3.75% car insurance increases through SGI, along with projected food price rises and ongoing rent increases.
The Saskatchewan Party rejected the request, saying affordability measures have been adequately debated, pointing to tax reductions, the carbon tax-free status, and existing legislation.
NDP Leader Carla Beck criticized the government for lack of accountability, especially regarding SaskPower’s rate hike announced Jan. 2, set to take effect Feb. 1, while government officials called the increases modest and necessary for financial sustainability.
