Strong Saskatchewan Economy Means More Jobs

Travis Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Saskatchewan has the strongest economy in Canada, and that means more jobs for Saskatchewan people. According to the March job numbers released by Statistics Canada on Friday, Saskatchewan has the second-best monthly job growth in the country and the lowest unemployment rate in Canada. Over the past year there were 15,000 new full-time jobs created here in Saskatchewan. That is 10 times the rate of full-time job growth across Canada.

There are more women working, more men working, more young people working, more First Nations working, and more Métis people working. There are more people working in Regina, more people in Saskatoon, more people in Prince Albert, more people working in health care, in agriculture, in construction, in scientific and technical services.

In just a few minutes we are going to hear the NDP [New Democratic Party] continue to run down Saskatchewan and tell us how terrible everything is because apparently, Mr. Speaker, even that’s a job here. But they’re wrong. Saskatchewan’s a great place to live. There’s so much to be proud of here, and our government will keep working hard to build and protect the very best province in Canada. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
