Case numbers may be going down but NDP MLA Aleana Young said people are still struggling because of the pandemic.
She said she spoke to a man while door-knocking and he told her he has a good job but is still finishing a little in the red every month.
“What I’m hearing from real people in Saskatchewan, is that this has been one of the most challenging times of their life – certainly economically, certainly for families, and certainly for business,” said Young, who is the NDP’s critic on SaskPower
Which is why the NDP is calling on the provincial government to retroactively extend the bill deferral program for Crown Corporations.
