PREMIER ANNOUNCES SPRING SESSION TO START MARCH 5, BUDGET ON MARCH 21

Released on February 2, 2012

Premier Brad Wall today announced that the spring session of the Legislative Assembly will begin on Monday March 5 with the 2012-13 provincial budget to be delivered on Wednesday, March 21.

Wall said the provincial budget will focus on keeping the government's election commitments while maintaining fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget.

"Saskatchewan's economy is leading the nation," Wall said. "We have a growing population, low unemployment, the second-highest average wages in the country and a great quality of life in our province.

"Saskatchewan people have worked hard to create the Saskatchewan advantage and this budget will be about keeping the Saskatchewan advantage."

Wall said the budget will also provide funding for the government's election commitments, like the new Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship that will provide up to $2,000 over four years to new high school graduates to reduce the cost of post-secondary tuition in Saskatchewan.

"Saskatchewan already has the best graduate retention program in the country, which gives post-secondary grads up to $20,000 tuition back if they choose to stay in Saskatchewan," Wall said. "Now, we want to take the next step by making post-secondary education more affordable through the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship.

"It's just one step in our plan to keep Saskatchewan moving forward. That's what this upcoming session will be about."
