NDP and Saskatchewan Party leaders face off in debate ahead of Oct. 28 vote | LIVE

From Global News.

Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe and Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck will face off Wednesday night in a televised debate ahead of Election Day on Oct. 28.

Beck has spent much of the campaign focused on health care, and yesterday announced that if she becomes premier, she would hire 800 health-care workers in areas that need them most. She had previously announced that an NDP government would spend $1.1 billion on health care over four years.

Moe, meanwhile, has promised to broaden the health-care plan his government announced two years ago and said Tuesday he would continue withholding carbon levy payments to Ottawa on home heating.

Beck has said she is prepared to withhold carbon levy payments, too, but noted Moe hasn’t gotten a better deal with the federal government on securing an alternative to a consumer-based carbon levy.
