CIC hands out $35,000,000 |
The Crown Investment Corporation of Saskatchewan (CIC) is made up of the family |
| of public corporations and it has recently extended their interests in assisting | |
| the meat industry in an effort to diversify the agricultural sector. The single family owned | |
| Big Sky Farms was given $15 million to establish new hog barns in the province and now | |
| the single family owned Centennial Food Corporation has been given $20 million to build | |
| a $34.4-million hamburger patty processing plant in Saskatoon. | |

grease the new economy |
This government understands the economy of brick and mortar and wants to put more |
| meat to grease the new economy of the province. It was not enough for the city of | |
| Saskatoon to experience a construction boom with the building of the $175-million | |
| Synchrotron in the name of scientific research and at the expense of the education of | |
| our children. Therefore, our Premier Romanow wants to reach a new first for his | |
| Saskatchewan Way and wants to make his city of Saskatoon the biggest manufacturer | |
|
|
of hamburger patties. |
|
|
|
|
not likely be high paying |
Ron Kovits of Centennial Food Corporation has said |
"This will be one of the largest hamburger patty manufacturing plants in Canada. And, as you might imagine, we'll use a tremendous amount of beef(1)." |
|
| CIC Minister John Nilson has stated that while he could not provide figures to | |
| illustrate the economic impact of the investment he is certain that the company | |
| is bringing construction and full time jobs to the province. And in response to | |
| Nilson, Kent Smith-Windsor, executive director of the Saskatoon and District | |
| Chamber of Commerce, has commented that the new jobs are not likely be high | |
| paying, but he said that young people need to work and develop skills before | |
| they move on to further education(2). | |
|
|
|
|
Romanow for his vision |
We have to thank our Premier Romanow for his vision to have as many of our |
| children manufacture hamburger patties before moving on to further their education | |
| and eventually enter the scientific world as represented by the biggest scientific | |
| Canadian effort: the Synchrotron mausoleum. . | |
