After being introduced by Saskatoon Meewasin candidate Rylund Hunter, Premier Moe addressed the crowd and outlined the clear differences between the Saskatchewan Party and the NDP.
鈥淭oday, there are 170,000 more people living in the province that there were in 2007,鈥� Moe said. 鈥淯nder the NDP, we lost people, jobs and opportunities to other provinces.聽
鈥淭oday, Saskatchewan has the second-best job creation record in Canada. Under the NDP, Saskatchewan was dead last in job creation.聽
鈥淭oday, we are building new hospitals, schools and highways. The NDP shut them down.聽The Saskatchewan Party built 57 new schools. The NDP closed 176 schools.聽The Saskatchewan Party built 15 new seniors care homes.聽 The NDP shut down 1200 long-term care beds for seniors. We are building new hospitals, including the new Jim Pattison Children鈥檚 Hospital in Saskatoon. The NDP closed 52 hospitals.聽
鈥淭he Saskatchewan Party has a record of growth. The NDP has a record of decline. That鈥檚 why Ryan Meili doesn鈥檛 want to talk about the NDP record.鈥澛�

Moe also outlined the Saskatchewan Party鈥檚 key campaign commitments to drive a strong recovery and make life more affordable for everyone, including: a new Home Renovation Tax Credit that will save homeowners up to $2100 on the cost of their home renovations; a 10 per cent reduction in everyone鈥檚 power bill for one year; the Active Families Benefit that will help families with the cost of their children鈥檚 sports and other activities; making tuition costs more affordable by increasing the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship by $1000 over four years; making life more affordable for low income seniors by increasing the Seniors Income Plan to $360 per month; and increased supports for persons living with diabetes and parents of children with autism.
