  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Facing a near $1.0 billion budget deficit, Newfoundland and Labrador can learn from successful Saskatchewan reforms June 24, 2021 For immediate release ST. JOHN’S—When considering ways to recover from its current fiscal crisis, including a huge provincial deficit and the highest debt level of any province, the Newfoundland and Labrador government can heed lessons from Saskatchewan, which faced a similar crisis in the 1990s, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank. “The fiscal situation in Newfoundland and Labrador requires spending reductions to reduce the province’s dauting budget deficit,” said Alex Whalen, policy analyst at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Fiscal lessons for Atlantic Canada from Saskatchewan. Newfoundland and Labrador added almost $2 billion in provincial government debt last year, which is already the highest in Canada (on a per-person basis). While COVID added to the challenges, the province’s fiscal issues long-predate the pandemic. The study highlights how Saskatchewan overcame similar issues – including deficit- financed spending, mounting debt and rising interest costs – in a short period of time. Specifically, Saskatchewan cut spending by almost 12 per cent over two years, in part by eliminating inefficient and unaffordable government programs, and balanced the budget in three years. “Saskatchewan faced similar challenges, but through spending and tax reforms, turned around their fiscal ship,” said Steve Lafleur, senior policy analyst at the Fraser Institute and study co-author.

  • Williston Basin Architecture and Hydrocarbon Potential in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba
    Williston Basin Architecture and Hydrocarbon Potential in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba Kim Kreis, Benoit Beauchamp 1, Ruth Bezys 2 Carol Martiniuk 3, and Steve Whittaker Kreis, L.K., Beauchamp, B., Bezys, R., Martiniuk, C., and Whittaker, S. (2004): Williston Basin architecture and hydrocarbon potential in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba; in Summary of Investigations 2004, Volume 1, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Sask. Industry Resources, Misc. Rep. 2004-4.1, CD-ROM, Paper A-3, 5p. Abstract The stratigraphic framework and hydrocarbon potential of the Williston Basin are currently being investigated in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba. The Williston Basin Architecture and Hydrocarbon Potential Project (Phase 1) is a two-year collaborative program involving: Saskatchewan Industry and Resources; Manitoba Industry, Economic Development and Mines; and Natural Resources Canada. Regional geological, hydrogeological, geophysical, and remotely sensed imagery analyses are being performed on Phanerozoic-aged rocks from the top of the Precambrian basement to uppermost Cretaceous. Consultants and researchers from federal and provincial governments, and universities are involved in this regional study, the results of which are expected to enhance our knowledge of subsurface mineral potential (e.g., of brines and potash) and hydrocarbon- migration paths and entrapment mechanisms within and beyond areas of known production. Keywords: Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Williston Basin, hydrocarbons, oil, Phanerozoic, stratigraphy, geophysics, geochemistry, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). 1. Introduction Steadily increasing demand for hydrocarbons by the North American economy is widening the gap between supply and demand. Geoscience knowledge is an essential component of hydrocarbon- and mineral-exploration strategies. Over the past several decades, however, both industry and governments in Canada have generally reduced funding for geoscience investigations.

  • Canadian Lawyer Mobility and Law Society Conflict of Interest*
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 18, Issue 1 1994 Article 4 Canadian Lawyer Mobility and Law Society Conflict of Interest Alexander J. Black∗ ∗ Copyright c 1994 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Canadian Lawyer Mobility and Law Society Conflict of Interest Alexander J. Black Abstract This Article discusses inter-jurisdictional mobility of lawyers in Canada, comparing Canadian practice to European Community (”Community” or “EC”) reforms and U.S. practice. Ironically, the Community eschews using the label ”federal” because the process of European unification is ongoing, yet the new regime for the transfer of lawyers between EC Member States is freer and less fettered than the transfer regimes in Canada. In the United States, the mobility of lawyers is dependent upon reciprocal agreements between state bar associations whereby qualification in one state bar permits direct entry to practice in other states. Hence, this Article compares the rules affecting lawyer mobility in the ten Canadian provinces and two territories, the European Community, and the United States, specifically New York State, a jurisdiction receptive to foreign law degrees.
