Saskatchewan Liberal MP Ralph Goodale is not too pleased with the first five months under the new Harper Government, especially since Goodale says the former Liberal Government left the country is the best financial shape in history.

Goodale says the Conservatives have taken nearly one billion dollars from Saskatchewan through program cuts and that's something that will never be coming back.

Goodale says some of those cuts include 65 million dollars in farm programs, 125 million dollars to child care, 130 million for higher learning, and nearly 500 million dollars for aboriginal social and development programs.

No matter how the numbers come out, Goodale says one thing is clear, Saskatchewan is worse off under the Conservatives, not better.
