Introduction
The NDP party is unhappy with how the Saskatchewan Marshals Service finds new workers.
新民主黨 (NDP) 對薩斯喀徹溫省執達使服務招募新員工的方式感到不滿。
Main Body
The Marshals Service takes officers from other police groups. Now, 25 of the 27 officers came from other police jobs. The NDP says this is bad because local police now have too few workers.
執達使服務從其他警察單位抽調人員。目前 27 名警員中有 25 名來自其他警察職位。新民主黨表示這樣很糟糕，因為本地警察現在的人手嚴重不足。
The NDP says this costs too much money. The government pays for everything. If they used the RCMP, the federal government would pay 30 percent of the cost.
新民主黨表示這樣成本太高。政府必須支付所有費用。如果他們使用皇家騎馬警察 (RCMP)，聯邦政府將會支付 30% 的費用。
Minister Weger says the Marshals Service helps the police. The government is spending more money to find more workers. They are also working with 21 First Nations groups to help people on their land.
Weger 部長表示，執達使服務對警察有所幫助。政府正投入更多資金以招募更多員工。他們也正與 21 個原住民群體合作，以幫助居住在該領土上的人民。
Conclusion
The government wants 70 officers. The NDP wants the money to go to other police groups instead.
政府希望擁有 70 名警員。而新民主黨則希望將資金撥給其他警察單位。
