REGINA, SK: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling on the Saskatchewan government to trim spending in the wake of a credit rating downgrade. Saskatchewan lost its AAA credit rating after bond rating agency Standard and Poor’s lowered its rating to AA+ with a negative outlook on June 24.
“This credit rating downgrade is pointing out the obvious: when we have less money we need to spend less money,” said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
