I'd like to share a conversation I had with a woman in #YXE. She's a mother of three kids working paycheck to paycheck. She's doing her absolute best but with increased costs, she's finding it harder and harder to make ends meet at the end of every month.

Her family is doing everything right but they're falling further behind. She wants to provide the best for her kids but now finds herself in a position where she might have to put off paying a bill or two just to ensure she has gas in the tank for the month.

This is why government matters.

During a generational cost of living crisis, the Sask. Party expanded the PST, increased energy rates by 23%, increased power rates by 8%, and increased fees.

She doesn't know how she'll cover her bills in the coming months.

She's also now facing $200.00 in lunch supervision fees because the Sask. Party is under-funding our schools.

Across the board, Scott Moe's Sask. Party has made life more expensive during the most challenging economic times in the last 40 years.

She's not alone. I hear very similar stories across the province whether it's Canora, Carievale, or Chamberlain.

When it comes to concerns about the rising cost of living, Saskatchewan people are pretty united.

It doesn't have to be this way. We have a government that is sitting on windfall revenues—up $1B since the budget—and is choosing not to help.

They can't bring themselves to justify helping the people they serve but they can justify spending $8,000 for lunch.

Governing is about priorities. They could provide fuel relief tomorrow, a cost-of-living rebate cheque and scrap tax and utility increases and still have money left over.

Instead, they're choosing to prioritize themselves.

Saskatchewan people deserve better.
