The Saskatchewan NDP says drivers in the province could — and should — be paying several dollars less today and through the holiday season whenever they buy gas, as the official opposition continues to make cost-of-living its highest priority.

After an NDP emergency motion to suspend the provincial 15-cent-a-litre gas tax failed in the legislature on Tuesday, Opposition NDP Shadow Minister for Finance Trent Wotherspoon on Wednesday criticized the government for “piling on taxes and costs while blocking critical relief for families.”
