NDP plan is to scrap gas tax and the Marshal’s service; Beck in Prince Albert
In Prince Albert on Wednesday, NDP leader Carla Beck announced that if elected premier, her first move will be to pause a tax she has long been challenging the Sask. Party on, the gas tax.
“Not only do we have a plan to freeze taxes, we’re going to cut them. We plan to save you more money right away, immediately suspending the gas tax, saving Prince Albert residents $365 in the first six months alone,” Beck said.
Other provinces, Albert and Manitoba most notably, paused their excise taxes on fuel for months during the height of pandemic inflation.
They will also reverse the PST on children’s clothing and groceries.
