CBC's Political Panel talks Crown corporations, funeral services

More than six weeks after the March 22 provincial budget, the fallout and backlash to cutscontinues.

CBC's legislative reporter Stefani Langenegger and Regina Leader-Post columnist Murray Mandryk once again join CBC Radio'sThe Morning Editionto discuss Saskatchewan politics of the last week.

• Partial sale of SGI Canada pitched to 11 companies
• 'A punch in the stomach': Sask. 1st province to cut funeral services for poor

The Saskatchewan Party said it would not privatizethe province's Crown corporations and they're not, because the definition of privatization now means a corporation that's 49 per cent private is still publicly owned.

Basic funeral services were cut, meaning those who cannot afford them will not get them.

Saskatchewan is the first province in Canada to deny these services.
