Statement from the Minister
Saskatchewan has been referred to as the rising star of Canada's New West, and perhaps the entire nation. It has become even more prominent in recent months during the profound reversals of national and global economic trends, trends which Saskatchewan-while not completely unaffected-has resisted to a remarkable degree.
But growth, especially at times like these, comes with a critical caveat: it must be sustainable and responsibly managed, or little will be gained. Saskatchewan's economic strength, coinciding with a critical international need to adapt and innovate, represents a brilliant opportunity to chart a course for generations to come.
For unprecedented challenges, the Province has created an unprecedented solution: Enterprise Saskatchewan, a new special operating agency for coordinating the Province's growth agenda. Led by a Board of Directors composed of a comprehensive cross-section of stakeholders and leaders, Enterprise Saskatchewan has one ultimate goal: reducing impediments and barriers to growth to ensure the Province has a competitive environment that attracts investment.
Enterprise Saskatchewan is responsible for helping to deliver on our Government's plan for Securing the Future. Within the following pages you will find our Plan for 2009-10, and how this Plan is a key component of Government's vision for a secure and prosperous Saskatchewan, leading the country in economic and population growth, while providing opportunity for a high quality of life for all.
I will report on this Plan and my Mandate Letter commitments in Enterprise Saskatchewan's annual report.
Mission Statement
Enterprise Saskatchewan provides leadership as the central coordinating agency of the Government of Saskatchewan for economic development. In partnership with key stakeholders, Enterprise Saskatchewan advances a transformative sustainable economic growth agenda and develops a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that encourages investment and population growth, creating prosperity for all Saskatchewan residents.
