Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili and Agriculture Critic Trent Wotherspoon.
After little to no rainfall during the late spring and so far this summer farmers, producers and ranchers are suffering, and the devastation across the province has to be seen to be believed.
That, from Saskatchewan NDP Leader Ryan Meili and Agriculture Critic Trent Wotherspoon. Both say they recently spent time touring farms in the southern part of the province, and what they experienced was heartbreaking.
The two have penned a letter to both Premier Scott Moe and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking for an immediate aid package.
“This is a crisis that Canada needs to recognize, that the province needs to recognize and the solutions need to be found with producers and ranchers here in Saskatchewan to ensure access to feed, access to water and the supports in place to weather this incredibly terrible challenge,” Wotherspoon said.
