Premier Scott Moe has announced ahead of the first quarter budget report to be released today that thanks to higher resource prices, every Saskatchewan resident 18 and over will be getting a cheque in the mail in the fall for $500, to help with the higher cost of living. Moe says Saskatchewan’s economy is bouncing back – more people are working, exports are up, and the province’s finances are improving much faster than expected, largely due to the resource sector. Moe adds that other important measures will be announced on Tuesday about paying down debt and helping small businesses.
