"The Saskatchewan C.C.F. Provincial Program may be conveniently considered under the following four main heads: (1) Provision of Security for the People in their Homes and Jobs; (2) Provision of Social Services (Old Age Pensions, Health Services, etc.); (3) Provision of Educational Opportunity and Guarantee of Democratic Rights; (4) Public Ownership, Planned Development of Natural Resources, and Finance. While no aspect of the program can be rigidly separated from other aspects, and while all are equally important, the above is the order in which a C.C.F. Government in Saskatchewan might be expected to introduce its program."

Provision of Security: Farm Security ["stop foreclosure on and eviction from the farm home"; "protect them from seizure of that portion of a farmer's crop that is needed to provide for his family"; "debt moratorium"; "prevent accumulation of new debt"; "encourage the development of the co-operative movement"; and "press for the closing of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange and the setting of parity prices for agricultural products"]; and Urban Security [Union Organization; Collective Bargaining; The Minimum Wage; Workmen's Compensation; and Labor Representation].

Provision of Social Services: Health for All [Socialized Health Services]; Social Provision for the Aged and Incapacitated [Old Age Pensions; and Other Pensions]; Provision for Children and Young People [Mothers' Allowances; Child Protection; Adult Education in Child Welfare; Vocational Guidance; and Youth Training]; and Treatment of Wrongdoers [the Borstal System].

Education and Democratic Rights: Education [What Is Wrong?; What Will the C.C.F. Do?; Provincial Responsibility; Larger Unit of Administration; Salary Schedule; Consultation with Teachers and Trustees; Health Services; Free Textbooks and Supplies; Special Training; Higher Education; Adult Education; and Curriculum Revision]; and Democratic Rights [Freedom of Speech; Freedom of Elections; and Freedom of Religion].

Planning, Public Ownership, and Finance: Planning ["Adequate housing..."; "The development of the vast north land..."; and "Extended training courses for the thousands of men and women who are now serving in industrial plants and in the Armed Forces..."]; Public Ownership ["a survey and stock-taking [of natural resources] conducted by geologists, chemists, engineers and other specialists"]; and Financing the C.C.F. Program ["press for Federal aid"; "the elimination of graft and inefficiency in the public service"; "refuse to pay high interest charges"; "wholesale distribution of petroleum products"; "development of electrical power distribution"; "wholesale distribution of other staple commodities"; and "development of natural resources under public ownership"].
