Bad faith and paper legislation to cover the assets of SaskWater
Nipawin - April 18, 2000 - By: Mario deSantis
to save money at any cost	Our leadership has lost track of what healthier communities are and it is continuing in its
	economic policy directions to save money at any cost, and subsequently centralize bigger
	bureaucracies in urban centres and kill rural Saskatchewan in this process(1). Our government
	uses phony statistics to show the economic progress of the province(2), uses technical experts
	to support its agenda on municipal amalgamation(3), and uses ivory-tower controllers to save
	money in health care(4).
failures in creating wealth	We must all understand that the obsession for this government for saving money is only a mask
	to camouflage its failures in creating wealth and sustain healthier communities. Also, we must all
	understand that we create wealth and sustain healthier communities when we are allowed to
	express our voices and our feelings in our work, in our communities and in our business
	relationships. Therefore, we must understand that the pursuing of individual rights to remedy a
	wrong is a fundamental exercise of democracy.
legal options	Our government is phony(5), and as a consequence, under the banner of "saving money" it is now
	enacting paper legislation which will prevent future lawsuits against Crown-owned SaskWater.
	SaskWater was involved in the bankruptcy of the Lake Diefenbaker Potato Corp. (LDPC) and
	Mark Langefeld, former CEO of LDPC, has recently stated that the Saskatchewan government
	was told last Fall that LDPC's owners would look at their legal options to recover damages from
	SaskWater(6).
"good faith" by SaskWater, past and future	Allan McIntyre, a Regina lawyer, has commented that it appears the law applies to everything
	done in "good faith" by SaskWater, past and future. Richard Truscott, of the Canadian Taxpayers
	Federation, has said that SaskWater is "covering what's left of their exposed behinds... If the
	government hadn't gotten involved in this crazy misadventure in the first place, they wouldn't be
	scurrying to cover their butts now." So, this is one way the government creates wealth in
	Saskatchewan, sitting in its assets(7) and protecting these assets by paper legislation on behalf
	of all the people who sit on their assets and against the individual rights of all the people.
	Where is your good faith for enacting any legislation Premier Romanow?
