Campaign Roundup - Day 16:

• Tonight, from 6:05 pm to 7:00 pm, the Leaders' Debate between Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe and Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck will take place. It will be moderated by Merelda Fiddler and feature questions from a panel of four journalists.
  
  
• The Saskatchewan Party urged voters to make a plan to get to the polls, and reminded people that the deadline to request a mail-in ballot from Elections Saskatchewan is this Saturday, October 19th.
  
  
• Scott Moe, Leader of the Saskatchewan Party, visited Southern Meats in Kenaston to promote his party’s plan to freeze the small business tax.
  
  
• Moe continued on the campaign trail, touting his promises to reduce income tax, increase the Graduate Retention Program, double the Active Families Benefit, and create a permanent Home Renovation Tax Credit. Carla Beck, Leader of the Saskatchewan NDP, continued to campaign on healthcare.
  
  
• Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan leader Rose Buscholl spoke to Global News about her party’s plan for education. She said that politicians should stop using education as a political battlefield, start listening to teachers, and increase per-student funding.
  
  
• Jon Hromek, leader of the Saskatchewan United Party, is running in the Lumsden - Morse riding. In a by-election last year, he finished second, with 22.69% of the vote, behind Saskatchewan Party MLA Blaine McLeod, who won with 53.42%. Hromek says he’s going to continue trying to disrupt the mainly two-party system in the province.
