REGINA -- The leader of Saskatchewan's Opposition says she's ready to take on Premier Scott Moe in the legislature after her party lost Monday's election but significantly grew its ranks.
Carla Beck says she plans to continue to push for better health care and education, while also holding Moe's Saskatchewan Party accountable over affordability issues, rising crime rates and economic stagnation in some sectors.
Beck's Opposition will be Saskatchewan's largest in nearly two decades.
Her party is on track to win 27 seats in the 61-seat legislature, short of the 31 required to form a majority.
New Democrats swept Regina, took all but one seat in Saskatoon and held onto the two northern seats, while failing to capture a rural seat.
Beck says she'll continue to build relations with rural communities to bridge the divide.
