Affordability platforms

Here's what the candidates in Kindersley-Biggar, and their parties, are promising.

Childcare

Share this with your friends
We don't have any Sask Party policies on Childcare.

NDP

  • Speed up work to provide $10/day childcare in every community

    "And to further ease costs for young families, the Saskatche- wan NDP will accelerate $10-a-day childcare in every com- munity. There are billions of dollars in federal funding avail- able to make affordable childcare a reality, but the Sask. Party has stalled this program and failed to deliver on thousands of promised childcare spaces. Affordable childcare is good for families and good for the economy." — It’s Time for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

  • Remove PST on groceries

Sask Party

  • Reduce income taxes

    "A Saskatchewan Party government will reduce income taxes again for every taxpayer in Saskatchewan.

    1. A family of four will save more than $3,400 over the next four years under the Saskatchewan Party Plan.
    2. A senior couple will save more than $3,100 over the next four years under the Saskatchewan Party Plan.
    3. The plan will result in another 54,000 low-income individuals no longer paying provincial income tax – in addition to the 112,000 individuals who already pay no income tax because of previous Saskatchewan Party income tax reductions."
