This talks about . EVENING SITTING An Hon. Member: — Who is it dedicated to? The Deputy Speaker: — It now being 7 o’clock, I’ll call the Ms. Sproule: — Oh, and it is actually dedicated to the memory Assembly to order. of Tommy Douglas. So there you go, Mr. Speaker. My colleague is obviously familiar with the book. GOVERNMENT ORDERS This is the story of SaskEnergy, and here’s how it goes: ADJOURNED DEBATES The decision that finally turned public opinion against the SECOND READINGS Devine government’s privatization campaign was the attempt to sell SaskEnergy, the natural gas division of Bill No. 40 SaskPower. When Devine initially announced his privatization program, he had specifically exempted public [The Assembly resumed the adjourned debate on the proposed utilities. [That sounds familiar, Mr. Speaker.] Despite this motion by the Hon. Mr. Wyant that Bill No. 40 — The clear and unequivocal commitment, Eric Berntson, the Interpretation Amendment Act, 2016/Loi modificative de 2016 minister responsible for SaskPower, informed the sur l’interprétation be now read a second time.] legislature in May of 1988 that SaskPower was being split into two parts, an electric utility and a natural gas utility, The Deputy Speaker: — I recognize the member from the latter renamed SaskEnergy. When asked whether this Saskatoon Nutana. separation was preliminary to the privatization of the gas division, Berntson answered that it had “absolutely nothing Ms. Sproule: — Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker. to do with the sell-off of anything.” And I hope to pick up where I left off just before the break and provide some further edification and commentary on the notion That sounds remarkably familiar to some of the commentary of privatization and what’s being proposed by the government we’re hearing from the Minister of Justice this week, Mr. in this rather strange bill where we see sort of a back door entry Speaker. Now I’ll continue: into the world of privatization through something called The Interpretation Act, Mr. Speaker. And I highlighted a few Despite this assurance, George Hill, the president of concerns before the break, and I have several more to raise SaskPower, stated in January 1989 that the only thing before I finish my comments this evening. holding back the privatization of SaskEnergy was cabinet approval. Hill, a lawyer from Estevan, was a former One of the things that I think is important to note about this bill provincial PC party president and had helped arrange for is the fact that the government is creating something that Grant Devine to be parachuted into the Estevan doesn’t exist pretty much anywhere else in terms of a hybrid constituency. He was both a power to be reckoned with in publicly owned, privately owned corporation. Privatization has the Tory Party and a strong supporter of privatization; occurred in many, many, many different forms throughout the when British privatization expert Oliver Letwin came to western world and actually throughout the world in the last 40 Regina, he worked out of an office down the hall from years since the advent of neoliberalism in mainstream Hill’s office in the SaskPower building. Given Hill’s governments. political influence, his public statements hinting at the sale of SaskEnergy had to be taken seriously. But what’s happening here, I’ve tried to find examples of, and perhaps some exist, but in my research that I was able to do, I Deputy Premier Berntson began to go through various wasn’t able to find any examples of this beast that can only be verbal contortions to explain away the fact that the called a hybridization of public and private ownership in one government intended to privatize the utility. particular animal. And I’ll stop there for a second, Mr. Speaker. Again we see this And what it reminds me of, Mr. Speaker, is a children’s story same kinds of verbal contortions taking place here this week that I used to read to my kids, and it’s a little bit scary. Of when we see this government attempting to redefine course, in this story, things actually end all right. But see if I privatization to create this beast of this hybrid private-public can find it here; maybe I’ve lost my tag. It’ll show up corporation with no regard to all the legal implications and eventually and some of these tags I want to speak to. certainly all the confusion that it’s going to create. At any rate, I guess I’ll start instead with a story. And one of the I’ll continue: things we do talk about here, Mr. Speaker, is the notion that past behaviour is a good indicator of future performance. And I When asked what Devine had meant when he said “basic think we have a good example of that in something that utilities” would not be touched, Berntson replied that the happened in 1986. And this a story about SaskEnergy. So I’m natural gas distribution system was not a utility. Pressed to going to read from a book called Privatizing a Province: The define what he meant by a “utility,” he irritably advised the New Right in Saskatchewan by James Pitsula and Ken reporter, “Look, if you’re looking for a definition, ask Rasmussen. And this book was published, I believe, in 1990, Webster.” [He didn’t ask the World Bank, he asked 1056 Saskatchewan Hansard November 1, 2016 Webster.] Webster’s dictionary defines a utility as following the privatization of SaskEnergy, electrical rate “Something useful to the public, especially in the service increases would be kept below 3 percent per year and that of electric power, gas, water, telephone, etc.” George Hill they would be kept below the rate of inflation for ten did not bother with these linguistic gymnastics: “The years. To sweeten the pot even more, the government opposition will attempt to say that Devine changed his promised to cut electricity rates for all skating and curling mind. I say, so what? It happens every day of the week in rinks in Saskatchewan by 50 percent, a policy that was everyone’s life.” sure to win votes in the province’s many small towns, where the ice rink served as the main community centre. So we go on: In addition, all Saskatchewan residential and farm customers would be provided with a 5 percent discount on One of the main reasons Hill gave for the privatization their electricity bills up to $100. This could either be taken was the need to reduce SaskPower’s $2.2 billion debt . as a cash saving, or in the form of free shares in SaskEnergy.

  • The Politics of Anomalies: Policy Formulation Processes and the Transformation of the Industrial Policy Paradigm in Canada
    The Politics of Anomalies: Policy Formulation Processes and the Transformation of the Industrial Policy Paradigm in Canada by Matt Pelling B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2011 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Political Science Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Matt Pelling 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2013 Approval Name: Matt Pelling Degree: Master of Arts (Political Science) Title of Thesis: The Politics of Anomalies: Policy Formulation Processes and the Transformation of the Industrial Policy Paradigm in Canada Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Eline de Rooij Assistant Professor Dr. Michael Howlett Senior Supervisor Professor Dr. Anthony Perl Supervisor Professor Dr. David Laycock Supervisor Professor Dr. Grace Skogstad External Examiner Professor Political Science University of Toronto Date Defended/Approved: April 2, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract This thesis introduces a research programme to develop and test a theory for understanding the role of ideas in the policy process. By focusing on actors’ treatment of policy anomalies, the theory builds upon existing frameworks that map “orders” of ideational change using the concept of policy paradigms. The empirical section employs discourse analysis and process tracing techniques to explain industrial policy change in the province of Saskatchewan between 1970 and 1995. Using new analytical tools, this thesis explains how paradigmatic ideas may come to be dominant, hegemonic or contested, and how formulation processes came to yield the replacement of the industrial policy paradigm in many other jurisdictions but a much less consequential paradigmatic shift in Saskatchewan. The concluding section outlines the next steps of the research agenda and highlights areas in which discourse analysis may play a greater role in the policy sciences.
