Sask Party and NDP say “Saskatchewan Closed for Business”
October 22, 2010
COMMENTARY - The Government and Opposition Parties are both hypocritical and short sighted in their united decision to interfere in the potential sale of PotashCorp.
Brad Wall is clearly playing favourites in direct contrast to his own mantra that government should not pick winners and losers. This sale is not about Saskatchewan control - it is about the sale of an American-based company to an Australian-based company. Wall has no right to undermine the rights of private individuals to sell their shares to the highest bidder.
No private company owns the potash and to suggest that we would lose control of our resource through a possible sale is false. The people of Saskatchewan own the potash, and we are a key part of the business equation as a supplier. The way to ensure control is to assert ourselves through stronger resource policy that maximizes the benefit to Saskatchewan people.
Furthermore, both the Sask Party and the NDP are suddenly demanding that PotashCorp move its Head Office from Chicago to Saskatoon. If this was so important to them they why did they allow the Head Office to move in the first place? Where have they been for the past twenty years?
Wall’s real motivation to block this sale is his need for immediate cash in order to run his government. Both the Sask Party and the NDP have been far too dependent on resource revenues in order to fund their bloated budgets. While citing a possibility of deferred revenue of $2billion over ten years they ignore the possibility of long term prosperity through added investment and new jobs.
Of course, Brad Wall and Dwain Lingenfelter do not think long term. They only think in four year election cycles. Career politicians do that.
Even worse, they have just told the world that Saskatchewan is closed for business.
