NDP Government Too Slow Answering Questions

New Year’s is a time that often finds us making resolutions of things we’d like to do better. Most of us usually set ourselves at least one goal to achieve in the New Year. This year, we in the Saskatchewan Party would like to suggest at least one goal for the Calvert NDP government. This goal is to start being open and accountable to the people of Saskatchewan.

During the fall sitting of the legislature, we submitted a number of written questions to the Calvert government about fraud in government departments. Nearly two months later, the Calvert NDP continues to stonewall. These should not be difficult questions to answer. You, as a shareholder in the government of Saskatchewan, have a right to know what steps the Calvert government is taking to ensure billions of hard earned tax dollars are accounted for.

There is no reason it should take 180 days to provide answers to simple questions, especially in light of a sixty per cent increase in the budget for the Premier’s communications staff. At the beginning of a new year, all things seem possible.

We hope the Calvert government will heed our advice and start the New Year on a good foot: be open and accountable to the people of Saskatchewan.
