Moose Jaw Wakamow MLA Greg Lawrence believes Moose Jaw is doing
well.
“Things in Moose Jaw are great. You can take a look at our
revenue sharing. We’ve increased our revenue sharing to the city by 124 per
cent,” said Lawrence. “I don’t see that as necessarily falling behind.”
Lawrence spoke with the Times-Herald in response to the report
of provincial government presence in Moose Jaw that was presented to council on
Tuesday night. The report revealed a significant decreasing trend in government
jobs in the city, including SIAST, Crown corporations like SaskTel and Valley
View Centre.
Lawrence said the new hospital set to begin construction next
year is a $100-million project. Lawrence stated Five Hills Health Region has 98
per cent of surgeries completed in six months.
He said four years ago, the government pledged to reduce the
size of the civil service in Saskatchewan by 15 per cent.
