Campaign Roundup - Day 9:

• The Saskatchewan Party announced that, if re-elected, it would expand coverage for glucose monitoring to young adults up to age 25 and seniors age 65 and over.
  
  
• Carla Beck, Leader of the Saskatchewan NDP, promised to create a strategy focused on hiring and training local people to work in healthcare in their own communities.
  
  
• Beck also promised to address overstretched emergency rooms by hiring more staff, extending Saskatoon City Hospital's hours, modernizing paramedic regulations, and launching an online dashboard to track emergency room closures.
  
  
• Scott Moe, Leader of the Saskatchewan Party, said that his government’s health care plan was working. He touted an action plan that recruited around 1,400 nurses in 18 months and opened an urgent care center in Regina.
  
  
• Aleana Young, Saskatchewan NDP Candidate for Regina South Albert, visited Saskatoon to announce that, if elected, her party would freeze the small business tax.
  
  
• The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) is hoping for an election promise to update the Police Act and provide more support for municipalities to handle mental health, addiction, and bylaw enforcement issues.
