CBC's Political Panel talks Crown corporations, funeral services
CBC's Political Panel looks back on the week in politics — Crown corporation minority sell offs and funeral services for the poor.
Stefani Langenegger and Murray Mandryk look back on the week in provincial political news
More than six weeks after the March 22 provincial budget, the fallout and backlash to cuts continues.
CBC's legislative reporter Stefani Langenegger and Regina Leader-Post columnist Murray Mandryk once again join CBC Radio's The Morning Edition to discuss Saskatchewan politics of the last week.

- 'A punch in the stomach': Sask. 1st province to cut funeral services for poor
The Saskatchewan Party said it would not privatize the 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.
