An opposition motion from the NDP to pause Saskatchewan’s fuel tax for six months has failed in the legislature, with the governing Saskatchewan Party saying it will introduce other tax cuts for residents.

NDP Leader Carla Beck pushed Premier Scott Moe on the tax during question period in the Saskatchewan legislature on Nov. 26, saying families need financial relief.
