REGINA — The Saskatchewan election campaign is underway, with voting day on Oct. 28. Here’s a look at key issues and party promises:

ECONOMY

Scott Moe’s governing Saskatchewan Party has promised to grow the economy, jobs and the population.

In its pre-election budget, Moe’s government projected a $354-million deficit but delivered no hikes to personal income taxes. It rejected pausing the gas tax, saying the cash is needed for road repairs. On Tuesday, Moe said a reelected Sask. Party government would launch a four-year plan to reduce personal income tax rates across the board.
