We
are well into our spring session at the legislature and on March
24th our government unveiled its third budget. It was a balanced
budget that was both forward-looking and responsible.
This
budget reduces government spending by 1.2 per cent, while continuing
our record infrastructure and capital investments in key areas. This
includes an increase of $2.5 million for autism services. As Theresa
Savaria from the Autism Care Center described: “It’s the most
exciting day of my life. I have been here for 20 years, and
there’s a huge recognition of the needs of children and their
families, and we’re going to provide something that has been
needed for a long time.”
Your
Saskatchewan Party government will continue to lead our province
forward and 2010 appears to be another great year for the province.
The
new population numbers that were recently released show that
Saskatchewan is at an all-time high and that we are growing at our
fastest pace in nearly 80 years.
This is reflected right here in Regina Wascana-Plains
Constituency as we have seen tremendous growth over the past few
years – over 1500 new postal addresses!
Spring
is in the air and I think it is safe to say that we are all looking
forward to packing away our winter layers and enjoying longer days
and warmer weather.
As
always, if you have any questions or concerns I encourage you to
contact my office.
