Premier Scott Moe initially positioned the proposed policy as a top priority, stating it would be his ‘first order of business’ should he be re-elected. This stance seemed to strongly resonate with many of his supporters and was a focal point of his campaign. However, after successfully securing another term and leading his party to a majority government, Premier Moe stepped back from this commitment.

The shift in approach raised questions and criticisms from various quarters, including opposition parties and policy analysts. Critics argued that the initial strong emphasis on the policy during the campaign might have been a strategic move to garner votes by appealing to specific segments of the electorate. After the election, the change in direction suggested a possible recalibration of priorities in response to broader governmental or practical considerations.

This development in political strategy and policy-making highlights the complex dynamics often involved in electoral politics, where campaign promises can sometimes be at odds with post-election governance realities. Premier Moe’s handling of the situation continues to be a topic of discussion and analysis within political circles and among the citizens of Saskatchewan.
