Saskatchewan government approves billions in spending, NDP calls for democratic scrutiny
Reading now: 796
The Saskatchewan government has approved more than $4.5 billion of its pre-pandemic spending plan that it laid out in March.
Dollars were deployed through a special warrant signed by the Lieutenant Governor, since the spending estimates didn’t pass before the Legislature adjourned amid the pandemic. “With the Legislature currently in adjournment, there is no mechanism to approve the 2020-21 budget before the interim funding is depleted,” the Finance Ministry said in an email.
The 2020-21 estimates represent $14.15 billion in government expenses. The spending plan was crafted before COVID-19, and purposely didn’t include revenue due to the uncertainty of the pandemic.
