PREMIER ASKS KARWACKI TO JOIN FARM LOBBY

Released on May 2, 2002

Premier Lorne Calvert has written to Saskatchewan Liberal Leader David

Karwacki asking him to join the coalition lobbying for a trade injury

payment from Ottawa for Canadian farmers.



"I have asked Mr. Karwacki to put aside partisan politics and join other

Saskatchewan MLA's who are speaking with a unified voice in asking the

federal government for trade injury support," Premier Calvert said.



"We passed a unanimous motion in the house yesterday calling on four senior

Liberal cabinet ministers to come to Saskatchewan to hear and respond to

the concerns of Saskatchewan producers in light of the announcement of

massive new U-S farm subsidies."



Premier Calvert is confident Karwacki will join the farm lobby and also use

his influence to convince his federal colleagues to come to the

Saskatchewan Legislature.



"Mr. Karwacki has said he has a close relationship with Federal Finance

Minister Paul Martin," Calvert said. "Mr. Martin is the politician who

controls the federal purse strings so I would think Mr. Karwacki's

influence will play a vital role in convincing the federal Liberals to come

to Saskatchewan."
