Sask NDP Leader Carla Beck shared her new plan to boost jobs in the province if elected in the October provincial election.Beck introduced her "Hire Saskatchewan Plan" while speaking at Supreme Steel in Saskatoon. The plan aims to put local workers and businesses first for government contracts."Saskatchewan is the best, it doesn't matter if you're talking about the stuff we produce or the people we have doing it. That was clear when I was growing up on the farm and I continue to see it every day," said Beck."It's about time we put Saskatchewan workers, companies and products first. I want to bet big on this province and get us out of second last place on job creation. It's time for a change."Beck wants to change how the government chooses companies for projects such as building roads and schools. Instead of choosing the lowest price, they would consider how much the project helps local communities and families.Beck said her plan comes from talking to workers and business owners. Many told her they had lost work to big out-of-province companies, some with ties to the Saskatchewan Party.Supreme Steel is a Saskatchewan company that makes steel for oil rigs, bridges, and buildings.
