Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall was the keynote speaker at Thursday's SaskParty regional dinner held in Yorkton. The Premier told the crowd at the Gallagher Centre the southeast part of the province, including Yorkton, is well positioned moving forward, particularly with a strong resource and agricultural economy.
Wall did inject a cautious note in his address, warning people in the province should never get complacent about the state of the economy, adding there will be ups and downs. But he also says the economy remains sustainable at the current level of spending and income. In fact, he feels confident the economy can survive a bit of a wild ride in the resource sector, where potash revenue was well below forecast. That was offset by the record crop in the province, along with increased petroleum revenue.
The next provincial budget is due in March.
