Leaders of Saskatchewan Party, NDP face off in televised election debate

By Jeremy Simes, The Canadian Press on October 16, 2024.

REGINA – Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe and NDP Leader Carla Beck are facing off in their first and only debate in the lead up to the provincial election.

Beck is promising to make life more affordable, while Moe is pledging to build on his government’s record of growth if elected on Oct. 28.

Beck says Saskatchewan is a province where people look out for one another and set aside their differences to get things done.

She says previous Saskatchewan Party governments have taken the province from being leaders to laggards and voters are looking for change.

Moe says Saskatchewan has come far over the last number of years and his party has a plan to continue building a strong economy.

He says his party wants to lower taxes and put money back into peoples’ pockets, while the NDP wants to spend more taxpayer dollars.
