If, in the performance of those duties, I should at any time fall into error I pray that the fault may be imputed to me and not to the Assembly, whose servant I am, and who, through me, the better to enable them to discharge their duty to their Queen and Country, humbly claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, especially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates, access to your person at all seasonable times, and that their proceedings may receive from you the most favourable consideration. 9 FEBRUARY 29, 1996 The Hon. Mr. Shillington, Provincial Secretary, then said: I am commanded by His Honour the Lieutenant Governor to declare to you that he freely confides in the duty and the attachment of the Assembly to Her Majesty's person and Government, and not doubting that their proceedings will be conducted with wisdom, temper and prudence, he grants, and upon all occasions will recognize and allow, their constitutional privileges.

In 2010, the Saskatchewan government announced the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative (SSI) to tackle wait times and promised that by 2014 no patient would wait more than three months for surgery. Today Saskatchewan’s wait times for elective surgery are among the shortest in Canada. What explains Canada’s long waiting lists, what prompted governments to tackle them, and why was Saskatchewan successful in reducing them? Canada’s long waiting lists are related to the funding and structure of Medicare. Governments’ reluctance to change Medicare’s funding and structure helps to explain their slow response to wait times.

  • Our Mission Is to Cultivate an Environment in Which the Arts Thrive for the Benefit of Everyone in Saskatchewan
    saskatchewan arts board annual report 2000 - 2001 Our mission is to cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan. Our vision is for the Arts Board to be essential to the province’s vibrant cultural life. In a collaborative and open spirit, the Arts Board supports creative expression through the arts and links Saskatchewan in an integrated network which reaches all people in all parts of the province. www.artsboard.sk.ca artist's statement The visual design of the Saskatchewan Arts Board website began as a series of pencil sketches on paper: small scribble-like marks about 1 cm in size. These marks were then enlarged and intentionally degenerated on a black-and-white photocopier. The small sketches were copied, enlarged, and then re-copied and enlarged numerous times. In this process, a unique texture is introduced into the image which originates from the contrast limitations and toner qualities of the machine. As well, a custom type treatment was created for the top-level navigation text of the site. These fonts use multiple levels of opacity, and intend on speaking to the process of construction of the typeface form. Garnet Hertz 1 saskatchewan ar The Honourable L. Haverstock Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan Your Honour: ts board The Saskatchewan Arts Board is pleased to submit its annual report for the fiscal year April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001.

It was written between June and September of 2002 to convince the provincial government to raise its royalties, rather than to criticize its decision, announced on October 7th, 2002, to greatly reduce them. However, the October 7th announcement makes the paper’s analysis and conclusions all the more timely.
