May 14, 2020 The Honourable Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan Room 226, 2405 Legislative Drive Regina, Saskatchewan CANADA S4S 0B3 Dear Mr. Moe, Warm greetings. Out of concern for our fellow citizens and neighbours, faith groups and houses of worship in Saskatchewan showed initiative and leadership in addressing the COVID-19 situation, suspending their activities and closing their doors before they were required to do so. The current Re-open Saskatchewan plan addresses commerce and recreation but does not address spiritual gatherings. There are increasing tensions within our communities, and pressure on leaders to make decisions about what we can and cannot do at the present. These questions and decisions go beyond permission to gather up to ten people in a worship space. We are concerned that without clear communication and directives there will be well-intentioned but misguided decisions at the local level as well as outright rogue behaviour. Faith is an important aspect of the Saskatchewan community. Census figures indicate that 75% of Saskatchewan residents consciously affiliate with a religious or spiritual tradition. For many, religious observance is a daily or weekly occurrence, thus necessitating some consideration of religious gatherings within the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan. With this in mind, Saskatchewan faith leaders recently gathered in consultation. We represent diverse traditions, including the Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Mormon, Muslim, and Unitarian communities, and the following Christian churches: Alliance, Anglican, Baptist, Evangelical, Lutheran (ELCIC and LCC), Mennonite, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Ukrainian Catholic, and the United Church of Canada. We represent communities that are large and small, urban and rural.

The Honourable Scott
President’s Address SARM’s 2020 Annual Convention began with opening ceremonies and an address from SARM President Ray Orb. His address touched on several issues important to rural Saskatchewan. President Orb welcomed delegates to the 2020 Annual Convention with special recognition to Senator Roland Crowe, former Chief of the FSIN, former Chief of Piapot First Nations, as well as President Orb’s neighbor. Mr. Crowe was recognized for his commitment to the betterment of the First Nations people and to the province of Saskatchewan receiving the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 1985. Roland initiated meetings with SARM, and business leaders in this province, to discuss common interests with the idea of creating a path forward for all of us. President Orb expressed the importance of municipal cooperation and collaboration, promoting the power of working with our rural, urban, and First Nations neighbors. He also shared SARM’s disappointment with SUMA’s proposed name change indicating SARM will not stand in the way of RMs working together to form municipal districts, but SARM will still stand up for rural municipalities when we believe their best interests aren’t being served. The name Municipalities of Saskatchewan implies that there is only one municipal association in this province representing all municipalities, which simply is not true. Saskatchewan is diverse. We have urban municipalities. And we have rural municipalities. We have SARM and SUMA and we believe that’s the way it should be. We champion the value of rural Saskatchewan and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in our RMs.

Politics and Policy in Brad Wall's Saskatchewan
POLITICS AND POLICY IN BRAD ROVIN P C E E WALL’S SASKATCHEWAN H S T Daniel Béland SASKATCHEWAN L E S Compared with the other provinces, Saskatchewan did not face a profound S E economic downturn in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial and economic P C crisis. Instead, the province and the country witnessed Saskatchewan’s economic ROVIN “success story,” which was replicated in the political realm by Premier Brad Wall’s strong popularity, both within and outside his province. Why has Wall proved so successful, from a political standpoint? What policy challenges will the next premier of Saskatchewan face? Adopting a historical perspective on Saskatchewan politics, Daniel Béland provides tentative answers to these questions. Contrairement à d’autres provinces, la Saskatchewan n’a pas connu de ralentissement prononcé de l’activité économique au lendemain de la crise économique et financière de 2008. La province et le pays dans son entier ont été plutôt témoins de son succès économique et de sa réussite dans le domaine politique avec la popularité du premier ministre Brad Wall, tant dans sa province qu’ailleurs au pays. Pourquoi les efforts de Brad Wall ont-ils été couronnés de succès sur le plan politique ? Plus important encore, une fois que les résultats de l’élection seront connus, quels défis politiques le prochain premier ministre de la Saskatchewan devrait-il relever ? Adoptant une perspective historique, Daniel Béland formule des réponses provisoires à ces questions. n office as premier of Saskatchewan since November Although it would be easy to cite Lingenfelter’s apparent 2007, Brad Wall has become one of the most popu- lack of charisma to explain Wall’s political success, other I lar provincial politicians of his generation.

May 13Th, 2020 the Honourable Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan
Canadian Public Affairs 222 Queen Street, Suite 1404 Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5V9 May 13th, 2020 The Honourable Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan Regina, Saskatchewan S4S 0B3 Dear Premier Moe, I’m writing on behalf of Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) to ask you to continue investing in public infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, now and after the COVID-19 pandemic to support the province’s economic recovery. AED is the international trade association companies that sell, rent, service and manufacture construction, mining, farm, energy, forestry and industrial equipment and related supplies. The Canadian equipment distribution industry, which is dominated by small-medium-sized, family- owned businesses, has more than 420 locations across the country that employ over 27,000 workers and account for at least $8 billion in annual economic activity. Research shows that the return of investment on every dollar spent on infrastructure is between $2.46 and $3.83. Research also shows that infrastructure investments are one of the best ways to rebuild an economy and quickly generate thousands of jobs. It also goes further than just supporting construction. Investments support the multiple suppliers of the industry, such as heavy equipment, and supports a variety of other industries indirectly. For example, expanding highways or public transit makes getting to work for millions of people more efficient. AED members supported infrastructure investments prior to the pandemic and stand ready to support construction after. Our members are essential to ensuring that infrastructure is built efficiently and well to serve generations of Canadians. From pavers, to excavators, to bulldozers, the equipment which our members provide to the construction sector in the province allows them to make public infrastructure investments go the distance.
