    The NDP Disadvantage

    The Saskatchewan Party criticized the NDP's policy plan, calling it the "NDP Disadvantage". The plan proposes over 300 promises that have not been costed out. It is estimated that the plan would cost $1.5 billion per year, which the NDP would have to fund by raising taxes, as was done 17 times previously by Dwain Lingenfelter. Higher taxes would kill jobs and drag Saskatchewan back to being a "have not" province. The plan also calls for higher resource taxes that would shut down expansion and kill thousands of jobs in the resource sector. The NDP provided no plan to pay for its over 300 promises other than through tax hikes that would harm the economy.

    The NDP Disadvantage

    Lingenfelter Plan Will Raise Taxes, Kill Jobs and Drag Saskatchewan Back

    Regina – Just days after the Saskatchewan Party introduced the popular “Saskatchewan
    Advantage” budget that lowers taxes and keeps the economy growing, the Lingenfelter NDP has
    passed its “NDP Disadvantage” plan to raise taxes, kill jobs and drag Saskatchewan back to being
    a “have-not” province.

    “The NDP have over 300 promises in their policy document and not one of them has been costed
    out – not one,” said Saskatchewan Party MLA Lyle Stewart.

    “The NDP plan would cost at least $1.5 billion a year. The only way they are going to get that
    money is by raising taxes, just like Dwain Lingenfelter did 17 times when he was in government.”

    “That will kill jobs and drag Saskatchewan back to being a ‘have not’ province, like it was last time
    Dwain Lingenfelter was in government.”

    Stewart said the NDP plan calls for higher resource taxes, which will shut down expansion and kill
    thousands of jobs in Saskatchewan’s thriving resource sector.

    “On top of that, the NDP will have to raise a lot more taxes to plan for their reckless and
    unsustainable plan,” Stewart said.

    “Remember what (former NDP Finance Minister) Harry Van Mulligen said after the 2003 election –
    the NDP doesn’t like to talk about tax hikes at election time. Then in their very next budget, the
    NDP raised the PST."

    “Dwain Lingenfelter has over 300 promises in his “NDP Disadvantage” policy and absolutely no
    plan to pay for them. The only way he is going to pay for them is by raising taxes and killing
    jobs."

    “Saskatchewan is moving forward. Why would we let Dwain Lingenfelter drag us back?”
