萨斯喀彻温省国民发展计划呼吁召开紧急立法会议,以解决生活费用上涨的问题,其理由是,SaskPower计划提高3.9%的电费,通过SGI增加3.75%的汽车保险,以及预计的粮食价格上涨和不断的房租上涨。 The Saskatchewan NDP is calling for an emergency legislative session to address rising living costs, citing proposed 3.9% electricity hikes by SaskPower and 3.75% car insurance increases through SGI, along with projected food price rises and ongoing rent increases. 萨斯喀彻温党拒绝了这一请求,称对可负担性措施进行了充分辩论,指出减税、碳免税地位和现行立法。 The Saskatchewan Party rejected the request, saying affordability measures have been adequately debated, pointing to tax reductions, the carbon tax-free status, and existing legislation. 新民主党领袖卡拉·贝克批评政府缺乏问责制，尤其是关于1月2日宣布的SaskPower涨价计划，该涨价计划于2月1日生效，而政府官员则称涨价适中，且对财务可持续性至关重要。 NDP Leader Carla Beck criticized the government for lack of accountability, especially regarding SaskPower’s rate hike announced Jan. 2, set to take effect Feb. 1, while government officials called the increases modest and necessary for financial sustainability.
