Saskatchewan New Democratic Party Leader and MLA for Regina Douglas Park Dwain Lingenfelter responded to the Speech from the Throne today with a heartfelt and passionate speech of his own during the Third Session of the 26th Legislature of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

Delivered to the Regina and District Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, Sept. 23, 2009

Thank you so much for the opportunity to meet with you today. I’m pleased to talk about economies that work in the 21st century, since we are just beginning to recover from a global recession, brought on by the failures of certain western economies that lost their way. I think the lessons of this latest global recession can provide some helpful guidance for our own province as it works to maintain positive growth, and ensure that more of our residents benefit from that growth.
