Saskatchewan NDP and Party Clash Over Policing and Health Initiatives

The NDP pledges to hire more police officers, while the Saskatchewan Party focuses on fertility and cancer care improvements.

Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck promises to hire 100 police officers, redirecting funds from the Saskatchewan Party's marshals service.
Beck's plan includes $10 million annually for law enforcement and an additional $10 million for mental health and addictions services.
The Saskatchewan Party's Scott Moe proposes a 50% refundable tax credit for fertility treatments and easier access to cervical cancer screening.
Critics argue the Saskatchewan Party's marshals service is a waste of money, suggesting funds be better allocated to existing police forces.
Both parties are addressing public safety concerns amid Saskatchewan's persistently high crime rates, ranked worst in Canada for 25 years.
