This is from Google. This is a common type of criticism. Often programs do not have figures associated with them. When they do it is usually easy to criticise them. Sometimes it is justified sometimes not. This article does not give enough details to tell. At least the Sask. Party had a third party cost the figures. Interesting that the Sask. Party is picked as a target rather than the NDP.
Numbers in Sask. Party platform don't add up: Liberal leader
SASKATOON - Saskatchewan Liberal Leader David Karwacki says the numbers in the Saskatchewan Party election platform just don't add up.
Karwacki says there are more than two dozen items that either don't have a price tag attached, or whose costs have been underestimated - including a plan to hire 800 new nurses and a tuition rebate for graduates.
Karwacki also questions the Saskatchewan Party's promise to create Enterprise Saskatchewan, a public-private economic development agency which would advise government.
The Liberal leader says that will put government decisions in the hands of unelected officials.
The Saskatchewan Party says, if it wins the provincial election Nov. 7, its budgets would run surpluses of between $32 million and $42 million over four years.
The party says it had the math verified by the Ontario-based Centre for Spatial Economics.
