Liberals have not been friends of rural Canada. The challenges we face in rural Saskatchewan today are a result of a lack of interest in the rural specific issues. The Conservatives record on rural issues is just as weak...we just tend to forget that they paid even less attention to rural voices when they were in government.

Canada’s NDP understands that rural Canada is often left behind in government support to build local economies. We will work with rural Canada to find solutions.

1. We plan to launch a massive building initiative focused on shovel-ready infrastructure projects that include rural communities across the country.
2. We support the building Build an East-West clean energy grid which provides good jobs for Canadians.
3. We will engage in a home building plan in rural and urban areas that will employ Canadians.
4. Support Canadian-made solutions for products like heat pumps and construction materials which can be manufactured anywhere in Canada and especially in Western Canada.
5. Invest in high-speed broadband and cell phone infrastructure to connect farmers and rural communities to the technology, tools, and services they need.
