Madame Chairperson, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you,
Madame Chairperson, for your kind introduction and my thanks,
also, to your organization for giving me this opportunity to present
some remarks. Given the impressive list of speakers who you have invited
to give the Mary Donaldson lecture series in the past, I am most
flattered, and a little intimidated, to be asked to present this
year's lecture. The topic which I have selected for this lecture is public
economic investment in Saskatchewan and why the people of
this province have been such strong supporters of government
owned and operated economic enterprises.
