Prime Minister Trudeau Congratulates Saskatchewan Premier Moe on Election Win

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has congratulated Premier Scott Moe after the Saskatchewan Party won a fifth-straight majority in the provincial election.
Trudeau says he wants to work with Moe to provide results for Saskatchewan residents, including creating jobs, expanding child care and improving health care.
Moe’s party lost in the big cities while retaining its grip on rural areas to secure 35 seats in the 61-seat legislature.
The Saskatchewan Party was shut out by Carla Beck’s NDP in Regina and lost all but two seats in Saskatoon.
Elections Saskatchewan is to begin its second preliminary count Wednesday, which includes ballots that were mailed in by Saturday.
The final count is to take place on Nov. 9 and include remaining mail-in ballots, along with returns from hospitals and remand facilities.
Following his win, Moe told supporters he must do better.
He said he heard the message sent by voters that there’s unhappiness in how the province is delivering health care, education and making life more affordable.
NDP Leader Carla Beck said she’s disappointed by her party’s loss but proud of the gains it made, and she’ll continue to hold Moe accountable.
