Economic Growth in Saskatchewan

Hon. Mr. McLeod: — Mr. Speaker, this morning we received even more great news about our economy. Saskatchewan is leading the nation in wholesale trade growth, which increased by 49.5 per cent year over year. Mr. Speaker, not only are we seeing growth in wholesale trade but manufacturing sales also increased 24.1 per cent year over year. Saskatchewan is also leading the nation when it comes to investment in building construction growth, which increased by 56.2 per cent year over year, Mr. Speaker.

These indicators are further proof that Saskatchewan has exactly what the world needs. And, Mr. Speaker, we will continue to promote Saskatchewan on the world stage.

The members opposite continue to talk down our international engagement strategy, Mr. Speaker, but we will continue to attract people and investments to this province. Under the NDP we saw investments flee our province and population decrease. The only increases when they were in charge were in suitcase sales, Mr. Speaker.

We are proud that under this government we are seeing record population growth. We are proud that limitless potential in the form of jobs, economic growth, and opportunities exist here. In fact just this year over 50 delegations from around the world visited our province, Mr. Speaker, to explore the many opportunities that Saskatchewan has to offer. Mr. Speaker, what we see under this government truly is growth that works for everyone.
