The Saskatchewan New Democrats promise to freeze taxes for small businesses if they are elected to form government.

Regina South Albert candidate Aleana Young made the announcement on Tuesday in Saskatoon.

“Too many small business are struggling to get by,” said Young, who is a small business owner herself.

She said the proposed freeze would be in place for four years, while accusing the Saskatchewan Party of planning to double small business taxes if re-elected.
