The Sask Party voted down Bill 606, giving transparency to the people of rural Saskatchewan on when their hospital is open or closed. This bill would save lives. We keep asking when the Sask Party will listen, after 18 years it’s clear they won’t. We deserve better.

Happy Earth Day! Protecting our planet is not just the right thing to do to prevent climate change but is also the right economic decision. We deserve the Sask NDP Grid and Growth plan that will deliver lower cost electricity while protecting our rural way of life.

Today I spoke to Bill 606 brought forward by my colleague MLA Clarke that would force the government to notify when hospital service disruptions. I’m happy that the Sask Party supported our common sense legislation after denying that the lack of posting was dangerous. Proud of this team!

Stories like Cassie and Octavia’s are too common. Our healthcare system leaves people waiting sick. Our system is collapsing and all Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are doing is re-promising what they have for been for 18 years. Yet no actions have been made. It’s time for change Saskatchewan.

The Sask. Party is ignoring the mental health and addictions crisis in Saskatoon and across Saskatchewan. The ripple effects hurt everyone. Even if you don’t personally have a connection to someone struggling, you’ve noticed that businesses you used to visit are no longer there.

It’ll take more than a spoonful to stomach the debt the Sask. Party has accumulated. Scott Moe’s choices continues to hit where it hurts, your bank account. What’s worse is the debt is continuing to rise. We simply can’t afford this.

If you check SHA’s disruption list today you’ll find Melville. The minister of health continues to fail at his job. He isn’t providing any options to stop these closures and he’s not doing any consultation to understand what our front line workers need. It’s time for change.

With a new letter from 200 healthcare workers at St. Paul’s it’s a good reminder that this is not new. Here I was a couple of months ago warning the government that the problem in our ER’s could get worse and that an Urgent Care Centre can’t solve hospital staffing issues. We need big bold change.

Frontline healthcare workers have been punched, kicked, had blood spat at them and even been sexually assaulted. The one thing they havent met is the Minister of Health Jeremy Cockrill. We deserve a government that supports healthcare workers, not one that leaves them out to dry. #skpoli

Sadly many people in the province have similar stories of drug overdoses. We are leaving our young people stranded with inadequate supports. We deserve a province where the story of Josh and a Large Elm Tree is a work of fiction rather than reality.

While Session may be over for now, I still want to show some more of the work myself and our team accomplished. We will continue to pressure the government this year to take healthcare concerns seriously and highlight stories from across the province.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Saskatoon Stonebridge! I am so proud to serve as an MLA in the Saskatchewan Legislature. From my family to yours, I hope your holidays and 2026 are filled with fun, laughter, prosperity, and good health.
