January, 2017 Mr. Rodney Gardiner Box 216 Ile-a-la-Crosse, Sask. S0M 1C0 Hon. Dustin Duncan Minister of the Economy Room 346, Legislative Building 2405 Legislative Drive Regina, Sask. S4S 0B3 Hon. Dustin Duncan, Minister of the Economy: On December 14, 2016, I carefully observed the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s webcast of hearings concerning Decommissioned Uranium Mine and Mill Sites. I made two submissions to this commission: 16 M49.2 and 16 M49.2A. A local trapper, Ed Flett, made a submission as well. My submission involved the SRC (Saskatchewan Research Council) analysis of moose flesh from an animal I harvested near the Cluff Lake Mine site, as well as concerns regarding the storage of core samples on site. Unfortunately, a 2-day CNSC agenda was given only one day of hearings, resulting in a very cursory discussion of my concerns, very late in a long day of proceedings. Sadly, this also resulted in no mention of the important submission by Edward Flett, describing a recent large die-off of fish in a creek and lake (Island Lake) just downstream from the mine site. Never in a lifetime of trapping the area has such a die-off been witnessed. Imagine seeing the shores lined with dead fish, which then the eagles, bears, gulls and otter proceeded to eat. It is observations like this, combined with my own observations over more than 30 years of hunting, fishing and working 33 years at the mine site, that cause me to write to you today. AREVA has profited from extracting 62 million pounds of yellow cake from our traditional hunting and fishing territory. -

News April Fool$
News For Immediate Release April 1, 2008 April Fool$ MLAs now paid 15.4 percent more than in 2006 Transition Allowances up 30 percent REGINA: MLA pay has increased by 15.4 percent in just two years, from a taxable equivalent of $73,173 to $84,409 today, says the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). Wage hikes mandated by an all-party committee in 2006 led to the drastic increases. The basic MLA indemnity rose to $82,110 following the last election, to be indexed for inflation each April 1. A 2.8 percent increase gives cabinet ministers an annual wage of $127,384. Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz will make $133,523, and Premier Wall, $145,799. Even though the Cumberland seat is vacant, total wages now reach $5.85 million. The average salary is currently $102,783, since fully 37 of the 57 sitting MLAs receive bonuses for additional duties. Roles include premier, opposition leader, house leader or deputy house leader, speaker, deputy speaker, cabinet minister, committee chair or deputy chair, whip or deputy whip. These amounts would be even higher had the government not declined to pay the $12,560 to which the seven legislative secretaries would otherwise be entitled. “Most constituents could only dream of this much money,” said Lee Harding, Saskatchewan Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “In January, the average weekly earnings of Saskatchewan people was $731.72, which translates to an annual wage of $38,049. The average MLA earns more than two-and-a-half times that amount, insulating them from the financial realities of the constituents they represent. -
