Battlefords MLA comments on provincial budget
Battlefords MLA Jeremy Cockrill discussed the province’s 2021-2022 budget in session at the Legislature in Regina today.
“This is a budget that is focused on protecting, building and growing Saskatchewan,” he said. “In the face of COVID-19, which has been one of the most significant challenges that our society has faced in recent decades, our government has been there to protect Saskatchewan.”
Cockrill spoke about funding dedicated to “protecting lives and livelihoods” to help ensure the healthcare system will continue to be ready to protect Saskatchewan residents.
Some of the investments in the budget include hiring 100 new continuing care aides in Saskatchewan in the next year.
