Released on February 18, 1998
Premier Roy Romanow today announced that the third session of the 23rdSaskatchewan Legislature will open Monday, March 9th.
"We are looking forward to a productive session focused on the
priorities of the people of Saskatchewan - jobs, education, health
care, fundamental welfare reform, transportation and justice," Premier
Romanow said.
"We have turned the corner on our province's fiscal challenges. The
people of Saskatchewan are beginning to see the benefits of their hard
work and sacrifice. Together we are building a strong, growing
economy - and our province is investing in people.
"The Throne Speech will outline our legislative agenda, built around
this theme of Investing in People. The 1998-99 provincial budget will
detail how we will act on it.
"Our caucus and Cabinet have worked hard for months to prepare our
agenda for the session. We'll now await the federal budget, take a
few weeks to study its implications and then get down to work in the
House. We are planning a provincial budget on or around March 19th,"
Romanow said.
