With the Saskatchewan Party’s victory in the 2024 provincial election, here’s a look back at what the incoming government has promised to voters.
The Sask. Party’s election platform consisted of $1.2 billion in spending over four years – 75 per cent of which is made up of tax reductions.
The Sask. Party plan outlines a provincial deficit for the next several years – with the goal of balancing the budget by 2027-28.
The exact measures include a planned income tax reduction that promises to save a standard family of four more than $3,400 over four years, senior couples $3,100 over the same period and allow an additional 54,000 low-income residents to no longer pay provincial income tax.
Both the Saskatchewan low-income tax credit and graduate retention program will be increased by 20 per cent over the four-year term. For the grad retention program, this means the maximum benefit will rise from $20,000 to $24,000.
Other measures include the increasing and added tax credits related to active families ($150 to $300) home renovations, first time homebuyers ($10,000 to $15,000), care homes for seniors ($2,500 to $3,500) and those with disabilities (increase of $1,000).
Additionally, the government promised to extend coverage of glucose monitoring systems to seniors and young adults.
