Hey Mr. Wall...try using this word "Communication"

So a few months ago Dan D'Autremont comes out saying the Sask Party will sell Securetek.

Immediately afterwards, Brad Wall comes out saying no that is not true, then old Danny comes back out and saying that he was out of the country when the Party changed their minds and no one told him.

During the election, Sask Party candidate Darryl Hickie, PA, runs on a platform of "a vote for Hickie is a vote to open the pulp mill". Apparently, someone forgot to hell Hickie that that was not the plan at all.

Last week, Premier Wall announced that they will not proceed with the MOU with Domtar...pretty much killed that idea sorry Darryl. I don't suppose you were in the bathroom or out of the country when that was decided were you?

Now here comes Premier Wall and Rob Norris with chests out touting Essential Service Legislation.

While Labour Minister Rob Norris is telling reporters the party has been looking at legislation for a year and feels it's the only option available to government to ensure essential services agreements are in place, Sask. Party MLA Don McMorris told a CBC reporter that his party would not legislate essential services because he felt it could be negotiated in contracts.

In defense of McMorris, he was out of town!!

Oh its gets better......

The Sask. Party's election platform does not make mention of essential services legislation; however, it does pledge a Sask. Party government would "work with public sector unions to ensure essential services are in place in the event of a strike or labour action."

Now according to comments from Larry Hubich, President of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, "While I'm sure there is some public sympathy for making sure that the public safety is protected, the legislative hammer -- particularly without a dialogue and a consultation -- is hardly conducive to a mature and respectful relationship between government and the people who (Wall) is proposing this legislation would affect,"

It is not hard to see that there is a problem within the new Government. Maybe the new paint and carpets in the offices are distracting. Possibly the new $1700.00 chairs are to pretty to be able to concentrate. Possibly MLA's are still getting lost on their way to meetings. But whatever the reason, I think Wall needs to review the definition of communication. Consultation and Communication are not bad things!!
