PREMIER ACCEPTS LINGENFELTER RESIGNATION FROM CABINET

Released on July 4, 2000

Premier Roy Romanow has accepted the resignation of Deputy Premier and

Agriculture and Food Minister Dwain Lingenfelter, from the Cabinet, effective

July 6.



"To say that I have accepted Dwain's resignation from Cabinet with reluctance

is a huge understatement," Romanow said. "Dwain's decision, while I can

understand and respect it, is a huge loss for me, our government, and the

people of this province."



In his letter of resignation to the premier, Dwain Lingenfelter said that he

was resigning from public life to "explore options that have recently become

available in the private sector".



While Lingenfelter will leave his Cabinet position effective July 6, he will

remain as the member of the legislative assembly for the constituency of Regina

Elphinstone until he has finalized his future plans; although his letter of

resignation indicates that will be in the near future.



"After consulting with my family, we have decided that the time has come for me

to take on new challenges and to explore new opportunities," Lingenfelter said

in his letter to the premier. "It has indeed been a pleasure and a privilege

to serve the people of this province and you, both in opposition and in

government. The trust and confidence you placed in me is truly appreciated."



"Dwain Lingenfelter is one of those rare politicians who understood and lived

the Saskatchewan spirit of community and co-operation," Romanow said. "Born

and raised in rural Saskatchewan, he never forgot his rural roots, yet he

understood the needs and concerns of urban Saskatchewan just as well. During

his time in public life, he has represented both rural and urban constituencies

in the Saskatchewan Legislature, a testament to his ability to connect with

Saskatchewan people from many walks of life, from many different backgrounds.



"While I fought hard to keep him – we have had many heartfelt discussions in

the past couple of days – I must always stand aside, when a colleague has come

to a personal decision to pursue other opportunities. With the greatest of

reluctance and real sadness, I have accepted Dwain's resignation from Cabinet,

effective July 6," Romanow said.
