Premier ‘Elect’ Wall Appoints Senior Grant Devine Staffer To Head Transition Team
One of Saskatchewan Premier Elect Brad Wall’s first tasks was to name his transition team. To put this into context, please remember that the Saskatchewan Party has hollered loud and far that they ‘are not the old Grant Devine Conservatives’ and have ‘NO connection to the former Grant Devine administration’.
So with that in mind, who are the two key functionaries that Mr. Wall has appointed to head up his transition team? ...... Reg Downs, former Ministerial Assistant in the Grant Devine government and Doug Emsley, former assistant Principal Secretary to Grant Devine (and new sweet heart of the Steven Harper government - Steven Harper appointed Emsley to the Board of Directors of the Bank of Canada in June 2007).
Way to go Brad ... nothing like honesty and ethics in government!!!

It sounds as if the new government will be at the least Devine lite. It will be interesting who gets to be appointed to Enterprise Sask. and what powers the group will have.

Wall is setting up Enterprise Saskatchewan to make 'suggestions' to the government on ways to remove 'barriers' to private enterprise.
If E.S. suggests that Labour regulations are to 'pro-labour' then the new Cabinet can simply change them by Order-In-Council. No legislation required!
I forsee massive labour unrest in this province is that is the way Enterprise Saskatchewan starts to function.
