The opposition NDP says it is time to re-open the legislature so some answers can be given from the government.

The latest call to do so comes after $4.5 billion dollars in spending was approved by cabinet through a special warrant.

That warrant includes around $2.4 billion for health with almost all of that going to the Saskatchewan Health Authority for COVID19 related items.

Finance Critic Trent Wotherspoon says that is a massive amount of money, but there is no clarity as to how it is to be spent and if all of it is new spending related to the pandemic. He says the answers to those questions should come in the Legislative Assembly and that a full budget should be presented.

Moe says he has no plans at this time to tell MLAs to return to the legislature.

Moe added no other province is meeting regularly at this time. but some have had emergency sittings to pass legislation.
