Sask. leaders speak on federal NDP's announcement to end deal with Liberals

Saskatchewan leaders reacted to the news that the federal NDP pulled out of the supply-and-confidence agreement with the Liberals.
Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck says it’s about time that the supply and confidence agreement came to an end in Ottawa.
“I hear every day from residents who are frustrated with the federal NDP propping up the federal Liberal government, a government that has failed to deliver results for Saskatchewan,” she said on Wednesday.
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh posted a video on social media on Wednesday announcing that he’s cutting ties with the Liberals ahead of the fall sitting because he thinks Liberals are “too weak” to fight for the middle class. The agreement was set to expire in June 2025.
The Saskatchewan government responded by written statement saying Singh’s announcement is “pretty meaningless unless he is prepared to actually vote against the Trudeau government and force an election, as most Canadians want him to do.”
The federal NDP announcement came while Carla Beck was in White City Emerald Park for a pre-campaign announcement.
“White City and Emerald Park are the only community in Saskatchewan over 5,000 in population without a high school,” she said.
Beck said an NDP government would immediately build a high school in the community.
