By Command, J. W. McLEOD, Deputy Provincial Secretary. JOURNALS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Province of Saskatchewan SECOND SESSION-TENTH LEGISLATURE REGINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1945. This being the day appointed by Proclamation of His Honour the Administrator, dated the seventeenth day of January, 1945, for the meeting of the Second Session of the Tenth Legislative Assembly of the Province of Saskatchewan, and the Assembly having met:- Mr. Speaker informed · the Assembly that he had received a communication from the Private Secretary to His Honour the Administrator stating that His Honour would open the Session at three o'clock p.m. today, Thursday, the fifteenth day of February, 1945. His Honour the Lieutenant Governor then entered the Chamber and, having taken his seat upon the Throne, was pleased to open the Session with the following Speech: MR. SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY: It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the Second Session of the Tenth.Legislature of the Province of Saskatchewan. Since the last sitting of the Legislature the European phase of the present world conflict has entered a decisive stage from \vhich, it has become evident, the Allied forces will emerge vic­ torious. Veterans of this war are already returning to their homes in the Province, and are seeking an opportunity to take their places in civilian life. All this makes it imperative that this House should give consideration to the efforts which are to be made to aid these men and women in seeking re-employment and re-establishment. Realizing that the rehabilitation of discharged personnel and displaced industrial war workers is primarily a responsibility of the Federal Government, nevertheless, my Government is deter­ mined to assist in every way possible in meeting the needs of these 8 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1945 people. One act of my Government has been to enlist the interest and co-operation of the various communities of the Province. Through local rehabilitation committees, these communities have expressed a willingness to assume their share of responsibility for the re-establishment of service men and women. My Government has reached an agreement with those who administer the Veterans Land Act to allow debt free grants for the purchase of stock, equipment and improvements to returned men settling on crown lands. Crown lands are now being withheld from sale and will be available on special terms for settlement by returned men. Since the summer of 1944, extensive research work on co­ operative farm projects has been carried on by a special committee. Considerable interest in this project has been shown by members of the armed forces and civilians alike. Throughout the whole of its re-settlement policy, it has been one of the purposes of my Government to assist in the re-estab­ lishment of these men on some other basis than one which promises only an accumulation of debt. Thus it hopes to assist in avoiding one of the major mistakes of land settlement schemes subsequent to the first World War. My Government has given every encouragement to, and created facilities for effective educational and vocational work among returned personnel. It is conducting a survey of employ­ ment possibilities and training-on-the-job schemes, and so far it has been successful in the placement of many discharged service men and women. It has been the policy of my Government, as an employer, to give preference in employment in the Civil Service to discharged persons, and from July 15, 1944, to January 31, 1949, 176 of these men and women have been so employed or re-employed. My Government is negotiating with the Crown Assets Alloca­ tion Committee to obtain military and air force establishments and equipment for socially useful purposes. Any buildings so obtained during the continuance of the War are to be maintained in such condition that they may be readily reconverted to military uses. The approaching termination of the War brings nearer. to the end the artificially induced prosperity which has marked the war years. Canadians must stand ready to dismantle this economy of war, and rebuild an economy of peace designed to give continuing high levels of production and income, full employment, and attendant social security. My Government is of the opinion that Saskatchewan, by the very nature of its economy, is in a particularly vulnerable position. THURSDAY, ·FEBRUARY 15, 1945 9 If a repetition of the economic disaster of the 1930's is to be avoided, it will be necessary for this House to lend its untiring efforts to the creation of a more balanced economy in which the dangers of such a recurrence will be reduced to ·a minimum. Realizing full well the limitations upon a provincial government in combatting economic collapse, depression and unemployment, my Government is determined to do everything within its power to create the type of economy in which these situations are im­ possible. It is the belief of my Government that any feasible industrial development in this province would supply a much needed supple­ ment to its agricultural activities. With this in mind, my Govern­ ment has already entered upon certain industrial undertakings, and plans to extend its activities in this field. The Department of Reconstruction and Rehabilitation is mak­ ing use of established facilities for research and investigation with a _view to utilizing our natural resources for industrial develop­ ment. Investigations are at present being carried on covering a variety of activities which include the industrial use of farm crops, minerals and forest products. The former Saskatchewan Industrial Development Board has been re-organized and incorporated in the Department of Natural Resources and Industrial Development. It will be its function to examine the possibilities of new industries and to advise the Minister concerning the feasibility of new industrial undertakings within the province. My.Government is now selling the first issue of Saskatchewan Industrial Development Bonds. The returns from this issue will be used to finance new industrial ventures. My Government has already undertaken certain investments that will be part of a planned program of social development. For some time now, considerable interest has been shown in the develop­ ment of a Saskatchewan clay products industry. As an initial step in this direction, my Government has purchased a brick manufac­ turing plant to be used in the development of a clay products industry within the Province. This industry is to be developed in conjunction with a post-war construction program. Initial steps have also been taken in the development of a provincially owned and operated power system. The assets of certain power companies have already been purchased by my Government. This, together with new developments under con­ sideration, should establish the basis for an adequate power system for the entire Province. Such a system is not only a necessary prerequisite for any scheme of industrial development in the Province, but will also assist in establishing a program of rural electrification. 10 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1945 My Government has given assistance to the Saskatchewan Co-operative Horse Marketing Association in setting up a pro­ cessing plant in the province. Special study is being given to the industrial uses of the by-products of the industry. Encouragement is also being given to other fields of economic endeavour. As an aid to wool producers, my Government is setting up a woollen mill in the province.

  • Évolution Culturelle Et Enjeux Identitaires Des Minorités Canadiennes-Françaises Dans Les Journaux Et La Littérature Pour La Jeunesse De 1912 À 1944
    De l’impuissance à l’autonomie : évolution culturelle et enjeux identitaires des minorités canadiennes-françaises dans les journaux et la littérature pour la jeunesse de 1912 à 1944 par Laurent POLIQUIN Thèse présentée à la Faculté des Études supérieures de l’Université du Manitoba comme exigence partielle en vue de l’obtention du grade de PHILOSOPHIÆ DOCTOR Department of French, Spanish and Italian University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Canada Copyright © Laurent Poliquin, 2012 RÉSUMÉ Cette étude vise à déterminer dans quelle mesure des causes antérieures à la Révolution tranquille expliquent la nouvelle organisation sociale du Canada français, contrairement à l’idée selon laquelle les années soixante inaugurent une rupture identitaire amenant les Canadiens français à l’extérieur du Québec à ne plus se considérer comme issus d’une nation canadienne-française commune. Durant le première moitié du XXe siècle, plusieurs événements perturbateurs complexifient l’histoire des relations entre ces groupes minoritaires et ceux qu’elle perçoit comme les Autres : la majorité anglo-canadienne et les Canadiens français du Québec en situation majoritaire. Les crises scolaires en Ontario (1912), au Manitoba (1916) et en Saskatchewan (1931), ainsi que les crises de la conscription (1917 et 1944), ont chacune une incidence non seulement sur les rapports réels entre les minorités et les groupes majoritaires concernés, mais aussi sur les représentations qu’ils en ont dans la presse canadienne. Le dépouillement de quelques journaux des minorités canadiennes-françaises (Le Droit, Le Patriote de l’Ouest, La Liberté, La Survivance) publiés durant les crises provinciales ou nationales envisagées nous permettra de vérifier l’hypothèse selon laquelle elles contribuent, sous les formes qu’elles prennent dans la presse en tant que « moments discursifs » (Moirand), à préparer la rupture du Canada français de 1912 à 1944.

  • Furrows of the Field: Methodology in Writing the Religious History of the Canadian Prairies
    Furrows of the Field: Methodology in Writing the Religious History of the Canadian Prairies A thesis submitted to The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies University of Regina By Connor John Thompson Regina, SK April, 2019 Copyright 2019: Connor John Thompson UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Connor John Thompson, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies, has presented a thesis titled, Furrows of the Field: Methodology in Writing The Religious History of the Canadian Prairies, in an oral examination held on April 23, 2019. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Murray Knuttila, Brock Univesity Co-Supervisor: Dr. William Arnal, Department of Religious Studies Co-Supervisor: Dr. Bryan Hillis, Department of Religious Studies Committee Member: Dr. Andre Magnan, Department of Sociology & Social Studies Chair of Defense: Dr. Susan Johnston, Department of English Abstract The primary concern of this thesis is explanation of the drastic decline in church attendance that has characterized Prairie religious history, and Canadian history more broadly, over the course of the twentieth and early twenty first centuries. In the case of the Canadian Prairies as a region, this transformation has also been tied up with the change from a heavily social gospel influenced society based on the highly valued ethic of co-operation to a society that is increasingly non-church going and which more highly values the ethic of individualism.

Despite suffering from painful mental illness, Scott established policies, governmental infrastructure, and institutions that shaped the future of Saskatchewan. Sadly, his remarkable contributions, like his untended tombstone, have been largely forgotten. Walter Scott said, “This is a great country. It needs big men with large ideas.” The ideas and achievements of Saskatchewan’s citizens and leaders are impressive, indeed. Tommy Douglas, one of our best-known Premiers, improved labour standards, enhanced the cooperative sector, modernized the province through the Crown Corporations, and laid the groundwork for Canada’s first Medicare system.
