Seniors' benefits

Sask United's promise

Provide a 65% discount on property taxes for primary residents to citizens 65 years and older

"Our seniors are an integral part of our province, embodying wisdom, experience, and deep connection to our communities. 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

Tax measures and rebates

Sask United's promises

Reduce the PST to 3%

"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

Remove the Provincial Gas Tax

"We understand how the rising cost of living affects families, which is why we are committed to eliminating the Provincial Gas Tax. By removing this 15 cent per litre tax on fuel we aim to alleviate financial pressure on families, make everyday necessities more affordable, and promote economic growth throughout Saskatchewan." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

Climate Change & the Environment

Mining and minerals

Sask United's promise

Reopen the royalty framework on potash

"We recognize the rarity and global demand for Saskatchewan’s world class potash reserves. As a result, potash must be priced accordingly and reflecting its true value – ensuring that Saskatchewan people reap the economic benefits of their natural resource wealth. The wealth generated from potash and other re- sources need to benefit the Saskatchewan people first and foremost, rather than being siphoned off to global markets. Corporations profiting from production need to pay their fair share. We will reopen the royalty framework on potash to ensure the province and its people have a fair deal." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

Coal and natural gas will remain a cornerstone of our energy strategy, ensuring reliable and affordable energy is available to build a thriving, self-sufficient, and market-driven economy." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

We will always put the people of Saskatchewan first, prioritizing local needs over global agendas." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

Education

K-12 learning needs

Sask United's promise

Implement standardised testing

"We will implement standardized testing to address the current low rankings of our children in reading, writ- ing, science, and mathematics compared to the rest of Canada.

Understanding our student’s performance is essential for helping us make informed improvements to the education system." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

Post-secondary

We will introduce OPT-IN policies that encour- age and facilitate parental involvement in the classroom. Unlike OPT-OUT policies, OPT-IN will require schools and school boards to foster meaningful conversations with parents, requiring their approval for student’s participation in curriculum that broach controversial subjects." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

"Remove ideology" from curriculum

"It is essential that political bias and ideology are excluded from the education curriculum in Saskatchewan. Children should be equipped with the necessary skills to succeed in today’s highly competitive world, em- phasizing core subjects such as reading, writing, mathematics, and an accurate representation of history. We will remove ideology in the education curriculum ensuring schools are places of learning, not forums for activism and indoctrination." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
