Working for You to Secure Saskatchewan's Future
| THEN AND NOW How times change... "...this isn't a clean source of power. It's probably the dirtiest..."
"I think that we indicated very clearly that we were looking at all options including a nuclear reactor." THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR NDP stuck in reverse on labour issues Wood River MLA Yogi Huyghebaert's member statement from Monday, May 5, 2008: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, Mr. Speaker, shortly after the last election the editor of the NDP's newsletter The Commonwealth wrote a scathing article outlining the NDP government's numerous failures that led to its defeat in the 2007 election."

THE BIG PAYOFF
May 10, 2008 Your SaskParty MLAs are calling on the NDP to foot the entire bill for their former caucus chief of staff's rich severance package. For being the fall guy in the NDP Fraud Scandal, Jim Fodey will receive $113,511 in public money. The NDP have always maintained Fodey RESIGNED. Under legislative rules, only people TERMINATED WITHOUT CAUSE are eligible for a severance package. "There should be no severance package if he resigned. [...] Now it simply looks like it's a payoff for him being the fall guy," said Government Services Minister and Cannington MLA Dan D'Autremont. For more, click here. THE END OF THE ANTI-NUKE ERA SaskParty looking to the future, NDP stuck in the past May 8, 2008 Nuclear is back on the table. Ontario-based Bruce Power has approached your Saskatchewan Party government about building a nuclear power plant here. Talks are in the very early stages, but the safety of Saskatchewan citizens is our government's number one priority. Extensive public consultations would have to be held. Transparency is of the utmost importance. For decades, pro-NDP anti-nuke radicals have prevented Saskatcheawn from realizing the potential of the province's nuclear riches.

WIDESPREAD SUPPORT FOR NEW LABOUR LEGISLATION Who are the NDP speaking for? May 5, 2008 A Sigma-Analytics poll commmissioned by the Regina Leader-Post shows support for your Saskatchewan Party government's new labour legislation ranges from "moderate" to "exceptionally good." In a telephone survey of 510 people done in late April, 70 per cent supported the provision contained in Bill 5 - The Public Service Essential Services Act which states management and the union should be required to negotiate in advance which jobs are to be maintained in a strike. 75 per cent of survey respondents supported the idea of a secret ballot vote on whether or not to have a union, a key component of Bill 6 - The Trade Union Amendment Act, 2007. The survey also indicated that there is strong support for the proposed legislation within union households, which begs the question: who are the NDP speaking for? By fighting tooth and nail against these changes, the NDP have shown once again they are disconnected from the people of Saskatchewan and have no vision for the future. Essential services legislation balances public safety and the right to strike. The amendments to the Trade Union Act make the workplace more democratic. Both pieces of legislation are expected to pass before the end of the spring sitting of the Saskatchewan Legislature, May 15, 2008. For more, click here. NDP VIOLATE PRIVACY OF SASKATCHEWAN PEOPLE April 29, 2008 Some former NDP cabinet ministers are breaking the law and violating Saskatchewan people's privacy. All former Ministers are required by law to archive ministerial correspondence they have received in their capacity as Ministers, including private letters from Saskatchewan citizens. This is because all of the letters and correspondence received by Ministers is the property of the Crown, not of individual Ministers. Most former NDP Ministers have failed to do so.
