CHRISTINE
TELL MLA – Provincial Update – September 14, 2010 Christine
Puts Rumours to Rest – I’m Running in 2011 Last
night before a full house in Emerald Park, Christine laid to rest the
rumour that she wasn’t going to run in the next election. Tell
stated, “I must say the rumours are not based on fact. I have spent a
lot of time over the summer questioning whether I am the best person to
represent you in government. I believe that you are best represented by an
MLA in cabinet. However, I also believe you are best represented by
someone who is honest, ethical, hard working and takes seriously what you
have elected me to do. Right
now, this person is me. I
will continue to serve you to the best of my ability and we must focus our
efforts on winning this constituency again in 2011.

addressing constituents in Emerald Park- September 13, 2010 Saskatchewan
Moving Forward Saskatchewan
is a much different province today as compared to when we took office in
November 2007. Premier
Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party represent the “new” Saskatchewan
— a forward-looking, growing, optimistic, confident province. During
the recent recession; ·
we
broke our own population record not once, but twice; In June of this year,
our province’s population hit an all-time high of 1,041,729 ·
we
broke our employment record with more people working in Saskatchewan than
ever before; Saskatchewan has set employment records for six consecutive
months and we now have the lowest unemployment rate in the nation. ·
we
broke our immigration record; ·
after
17 years of declining enrolment in our K-12 system, enrolment at our schools
is actually on the rise. ·
Urban
housing starts in the province were up 83 per cent in the first seven months
of this year, while oil drilling is rebounding this year with a 96 per cent
increase so far in 2010 when compared to 2009. ·
Building
permits are also on the rise, while the sale of Crown petroleum and natural
gas rights is up seven-fold over this period last year.

Transplant Program Partially Resumed Health
care is the number one issue for Saskatchewan people. Our government
is taking steps to ensure the action we take reflects that priority.
We recently announced the partial resumption of the Kidney Transplant
Program. Saskatchewan residents, who are receiving a living related
donor kidney transplant, can soon have their surgery in Saskatchewan.
Our government has also increased program funding by up to $2 million to
assist with initiatives such as recruiting additional surgeons and promoting
organ donation. A
team from Saskatchewan smoked the competition at the Canadian BBQ Championships
in Whistler, B.C. on the long weekend. Prairie
Smoke & Spice BBQ are returning home with the Grand Champion trophy and
close to $9,000 in cash and prizes, including a trip to Jamaica. The win also
earned them an invitation to compete in the prestigious Jack Daniels World
Championships in Lynchburg, Tenn. The
team won the competition handily after placing first in three of the four meat
categories at the event, which hosted over 50 teams from across Canada and the
Western United States This was the largest BBQ competition ever held in Canada. The
Jack Daniels World Championships will be attended by approximately 75 of the
best BBQ.’ers in the world, featuring representatives from over a dozen
countries. Prairie Smoke & Spice is the first BBQ team from Saskatchewan to
receive this prestigious invitation. The
husband and wife duo of Rob and Jacy Reinhardt will attempt to wow the judges
with their slow smoked chicken, beef brisket, pork shoulder, and ribs.
‘Attending this event is a dream of every serious BBQ competitor,” notes
Rob. “We are very fortunate to receive such a unique and special
opportunity”. A
FUNDRAISER for the REINHARDT’S to attend THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN LYNCHBURG,
TENN will be held on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2010 AT BUFFALO LOOKOUT CAMPGROUND.
Land
Secured Our government recently reached an agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway to secure an area in downtown Regina for a new facility. Although this conditional sale agreement does not mean that the proposed facility is going to be built, it does mean that a location is in place if a decision is reached to build the facility. We expect to make a final decision this fall on the future of the entertainment facility. Discussions for financial contributions are underway with the federal government, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and City of Regina. _______________________________________________________________________________ Staying
