The Saskatchewan NDP say they're disappointed with the Sask Party's provincial budget that was unveiled on Wednesday.

NDP Finance Critic Trent Wotherspoon said yesterday one of the biggest let downs in the budget was the minimal increase ($19 million or 0.005 per cent) to education.

"We have classrooms at a breaking point across Saskatchewan, students without the supports they need and deserve, and this budget goes no distance to making sure they have those supports, no distance to restoring the damage from the devastating budget of a couple years ago that really hit classrooms hard."

Another problem he and his party had was with the province's public debt set to rise by $1.8 billion in the 2019/20 fiscal year running the tab up to about $21.7 billion by March 31, 2020.

"The cost of mismanagement are piling up and it's Saskatchewan people that are left to pay for them," he said. "We actually have a record high level of debt this year at $21.7 billion and that is a burden that we're putting on to future generations, so that's a big concern."

It wasn't all negative feedback from the opposition side however, as Wotherspoon noted they were happy to see mental health get more funding.

"We've pushed really hard to fight for an investment in mental health and addictions services," he said. "Far too many people suffer in silence and far too many without the services and supports they need. The dollars that flow there are very welcomed, it's a first step though, there is still a large gap that we need to close to make sure that people have access to services when they need them.

"When we look at addictions, (that's) an area we're disappointed on that front because it was an inadequate response to the crystal meth epidemic that ravaging lives, families, and communities across our province."
