NDP leader Ryan Meili leveled criticism at Premier Scott Moe in the legislature for delays in denouncing Wexit, a western separatist movement.

Meili says it was embarrassing to see the Premier flirt with the idea of western separatism.

But Scott Moe says he was proud to chair a meeting this week of premiers to discuss a consensus on economic issues.

Moe shot back at Meili for not attending a rally in Regina last year in support of the petroleum industry.

The NDP is calling for improvements to farm support programs to help hard-pressed farmers.

Meili says improvements are needed to trigger support from federal-provincial programs like agri-stability and agri-recovery.

Agriculture minister David Marit says crop insurance has seen significant increased coverage under the SaskParty.

Marit says he will be raising the issue of improving other farm support programs at a national meeting later this month.

The NDP is again raising concerns about the over-stressed health care system in Saskatchewan.

Opposition critic Vicki Mowat says 62 percent of Saskatchewan doctors are at risk of burning out from overwork.

Health minister Jim Reiter says doctor recruitment is a priority in Saskatchewan.

Reiter pointed out this province has 900 more doctors than when the NDP were in power.
