Saskatchewan Party dismisses provincial NDP's no-tax-hikes fiscal plan as 'fantasy and fiction'

The NDP plan also calls for $58 million in spending cuts, and forecasts deficits in the first three years with a small surplus in the fourth year

REGINA — Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck announced a fiscal plan Friday that would see some cuts, no tax hikes and a path to balance should she be elected premier, which the Saskatchewan Party criticized as “dishonest.”

On the fourth day of the provincial election campaign, Beck said she would cut $58 million in spending by axing the incumbent Saskatchewan Party’s marshal service, slashing government advertising and cutting administration at the province’s Crown Investments Corporation and Executive Council.
