Saskatchewan Bureaucracy: A need for better decision making processes

Saskatchewan Bureaucracy:

The Need of Better Decision Making Processes

By Mario deSantis, October 28, 1999

Our socialist Premier Romanow took over the Saskatchewan government in late 1991 from

this mean and lean political direction is a stagnant economy the overspending Devine's conservatives. Unimaginative and reactionary, our Premier

understood that the secret for staying in power was not to create wealth⁽¹⁾ for the people

but to do better than the previous conservative government. Therefore, Premier Romanow,

even though he realized that doing nothing would have been enough to do better than the

past conservatives, stretched his imagination and did something. In fact, he directed a "lean

and mean" economic policy against the people of Saskatchewan and on behalf of the

monumental projects such as the renovation of the Regina hospitals⁽²⁾, SHIN⁽³⁾ and the

Synchrotron⁽⁴⁾. This lean and mean policy eventually led to the balancing of the governmental

budget, the digging of big and deep holes in the ground⁽⁵⁾, and the overall shrinking of this

province to success. Today's legacy of this mean and lean political direction is a stagnant

economy where everybody and every agency is crying for more money for healthcare, for

education, for highways, for agriculture, for increasing the monopolistic revenues of our

crown corporations, for you name it and everything else. In short, under the political and

economic decisions of Premier Romanow's government and his Tin Pot dictators⁽⁶⁾, we have

become a province of beggars.

In the last election, Premier Romanow received the message that his past performance was

our Premier doesn't know what to do not enough for his party to form a majority government. However, our astute Premier was

able to bribe the few liberal members of the legislature and form a majority coalition

government⁽⁷⁾. To the disappointment of the electorate, Romanow is once again in full power

and telling us what to do. Poor Premier Romanow, he needs help, the government has run

out of money, he has run out of his magic and he still needs to make political decisions. The

last political decisions of this Premier have been catastrophic. Let us consider, for example,

his involvement in the affairs of the University of Saskatchewan. He has fully supported the

building of the Synchrotron at the expense of the university welfare; then in an effort to stall

the increase of university fees he diverted money from the Millennium Fund⁽⁸⁾; then again,

at election time, he played the magic to promise free tuition to students entering post secondary

educational institutions⁽⁹⁾ at the expense of all the students of any age of Saskatchewan; and

now that the University of Saskatchewan has not accepted the bean counters' proposal to provide

differential tuition fees⁽¹⁰⁾ in accordance to the cost and benefit analysis of different degrees, our

Premier doesn't know what to do.

Governments of any level must make decision on behalf of their citizens We want to help our Premier and his Tin Pot dictators. They must not expect ever again to

pass unconstitutional laws and claim the Rule of Law for their observance⁽¹¹⁾. Governments

of any level must make decision on behalf of their citizens, and they must be respectful of the

law. Therefore, even though we are not the experts, we are going to mention in our future

articles some tools which can assist our Premier and his Tin Pot dictators reach informed

democratic and accountable decisions rather than rely solely on their greed, power or magic.
