DEPUTY PREMIER SPEAKS AT KANSAI-CANADA WEST BUSINESS FORUM

Released on October 17, 1997

"Saskatchewan has had five years of sustained economic growth and the

world is lining up to invest in our province," Deputy Premier Dwain

Lingenfelter told participants in the Kansai-Canada West Business

Forum in Kobe, Japan today. The forum was attended by chambers of

commerce and business groups from throughout Western Canada and the

Kansai region of Japan which includes the four major cities of Osaka,

Kobe, Kyoto, and Nara.



"Business investment was up 18 per cent in 1996 and will grow again

this year," Lingenfelter said. "We welcome the participation of

investors from Japan in developing the resources with which we have

been blessed."



In addition to the plenary sessions, the Deputy Premier took part in

the Leader's Forum with Premier Filmon of Manitoba and Deputy Premier

Miller of British Columbia. They discussed measures to develop

relationships between the Kansai region and Western Canada.



The Saskatchewan trade mission concludes Saturday morning with a

visit to the Okamoto International Co. Ltd. construction site in

Sanda City.



Okamoto is a partner with Pan-Brick Inc. of Regina in the

manufacture of housing construction materials for the Japanese

market. Pan-Brick Okamoto Canada Ltd. established a Regina plant

in 1995 to make interlocking plywood insulation and clay brick

panels for housing projects in Japan. The Saskatchewan plant

employs 20 people.
