The provincial government concluded their fall sitting of the legislature last week, putting a bow on their work introducing bills for 2024.
The fall sitting of the legislature is normally longer lasting around a month and a half, but thanks to the provincial election, this one was shortened to just over two weeks.
Despite the shorter length, Estevan MLA and Deputy House Leader Lori Carr said that they managed to get through some important pieces.
"I think the most important thing is we passed our two campaign commitments. One was the Affordability Act and the other one was the Sask Energy one, where we will continue to keep the carbon tax off of home heating."
The fall legislature tends to be focused on the throne speech with Carr stating that they hit the marks they wanted to during the sitting.
"Within the throne speech under the medical system that we're working under, we're committing to doing 450,000 surgeries over the next four years, which will be an increase in surgeries. But what that will mean for you and I as individuals and our parents and our families, is that the wait times for surgeries will be much less."
Another point for the Sask Party in the election and their throne speech was education, with Carr saying they're committed to the sector.
"We actually also made a big commitment in the throne speech around education, extending the specialized support classrooms to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn and the teachers have the opportunity to be able to teach those classrooms."
People can expect to hear more from their MLAs at the legislature when the next fall sitting takes place in early March, with the year's budget being a top priority.
