People across Saskatchewan are dying and families are left behind in perpetual grief. Can the Minister tell those people why her government has not invested in mental health supports for families left behind after loss?

We are losing this generation to suicide and mental illness. After 18 years of underfunding, the supports that keep our youth alive are not there. Families who have lost loved ones joined me yesterday to call for action.

Our youth are in a mental health crisis. The Sask Party has been cutting mental heath funding for 18 years. If we do not act soon, we will continue to lose a generation.

Young people across the province are dying from this horrific drug crisis. I have attended many tragic funerals in recent weeks, as have my colleagues from the North. How many more funerals must be held before this government takes the necessary steps to save lives?

It was such an honour to be invited to witness the unveiling of the Indigenous War Memorial. We must never forget the sacrifices Indigenous veterans have made for our country and for our province. They fought so that we can call Saskatchewan home.

We hear the same platitudes from the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions day after day. When will this Sask Party government take action instead of giving lip service to those grieving a loved one?

Jeremy Cockrill sure has a way with words. Now if only he'd try something new - like backing them up with action.

Canada will never be the 51st state — and we must take bold, decisive action to ensure we never end up in this situation again.
Let’s build trade infrastructure — rail lines, pipelines and powerlines — from West coast to East.
Let's focus on Saskatchewan’s future.

1/2 Kicked off our Time to Deliver Rural Healthcare Tour in Cockrill’s hometown.
At 8 m pregnant, could I plan to safely have a baby in your home town? Too often the answer is no.
From obstetrical to acute care disruptions, rural Sk deserves better than closures, chaos & chronic short staffing.

Met with the Saskatoon leadership of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to hear about their “Hands Off My Post Office” campaign.
The goal of the campaign:

I’ve met and talked with the Sandeskis for months. I’ve had the displeasure of seeing firsthand how Saskatchewan senior‘s fall through the cracks.
The Saskatchewan NDP and many others are standing with the Sandeskis until Fred has a roof over his head and receives the care he deserves.
