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

To demonstrate our commitment to their well being, we will introduce a 65% discount on property taxes for primary residences to all citizens 65 years or older. This will ensure that seniors can re- main in their local communities and continue to be active and engaged, enhancing the fabric of our society for generations to come." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

A family of four will save more than $3,400 over the next four years under the Saskatchewan Party Plan.
A senior couple will save more than $3,100 over the next four years under the Saskatchewan Party Plan.
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."
"We recognize the difficulties many families encounter in making ends meet, and we are dedicated to offer- ing relief and support where it is most needed. That’s why we have established a goal to cut the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) in half, from 6% to 3%. This reduction would put more money back into the hands of hard- working families and individuals throughout the province." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
