    (Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy, 2006) Burch, Fred; Whyte, John D.; Smith, David; Peach, Ian; Driedger, Otto; Crowley, Brian Lee; Fafard, Patrick
    With the arrival of autumn, the policy community is active once again. Our university partners are abuzz with students and faculty, the House of Commons has begun its autumn sitting, and the Saskatchewan Legislature will also open soon. The policy agenda for the fall is broad and varied, and this issue of Policy Dialogue reflects the wealth of research and analysis going on both at the Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy and our friends and colleagues in Saskatchewan and across the country. I want to thank everyone for their contributions and hope you find this edition an enjoyable, stimulating read. If you have any comments, we hope to hear from you at sipp@uregina.ca.

    SIPP Policy Dialogue Number 14 Winter 2007
    (Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy, 2007) Bell, Patricia; Whyte, John D.; Axworthy, Chris; Smith, David E.; Burch, Fred; Penikett, Tony; Marshall, Jim; Charlebois, Sylvain; Langenbacher, Wolfgang; Paul, Linda; Poitras, Derek; Furtan, Hartley
    It would seem a federal election is in the air. While in their early days, the federal Conservatives approached the task of governing from a fairly rigid, even ideological, perspective, their governing style has become increasingly politically astute and responsive as they have become more experienced at governing. Now, with an election pending, we are not only seeing campaign-style advertisements designed to weaken any momentum the Liberals may have generated from their leadership, but we see a government that at first seemed ideologically antienvironment providing $1.5B for responses to climate change. As the editorial cartoon on our website this month suggests, everyone in the House of Commons seems to have turned green these days!

    Welcome to the latest issue of SIPP’s Policy Dialogue. We have always sought to foster public policy debate on a variety of issues and I am pleased that, in the case of two of our articles, that dialogue is happening within the pages of our newsletter. Such interaction is a part of our mandate we take very seriously at the Institute, so I would encourage all of our readers to think about contributing thoughtful articles on issues that interest you to future Policy Dialogues. After all, if it interests you, it likely interests others as well.
