The Saskatchewan Government has announced that they will be drawing down from the province’s health and public safety contingency.
This funding will be going towards several items, which Finance Minister and Deputy Premier Donna Harpauer says will cover pandemic related costs, health system requirements, AgriInvest Program payments, and highways construction or winter maintenance.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority will be getting the largest portion of funding, $75.6 million, to relieve COVID-19 pressures. After that, the Small Business Emergency Payment Program is being allocated $20 million and tourism supports $17 million.
Regina– When government spending not allocated within an approved budget takes place, the government must use “special warrants.” On March 1, the Government of Saskatchewan announced a number of these warrants. Typically the provincial Legislature meets in February, and a budget is released in March. However, the first sitting of this spring’s session will be on April 6, which will also be budget day. In the meantime, the government said in a release, “To help protect Saskatchewan people and businesses through the global COVID-19 pandemic, the $200 million health and public safety contingency has been drawn down, with $160 million in new contingency allocations. Combined with other spending needs for the 2020-21 fiscal year, this required the issuing of February special warrants totaling $322.8 million.”
