During the fall session of the legislature, our government took action to ensure Saskatchewan continues to move forward.

• We promised that within four years no one will have to wait longer than 3 months for surgery.
• Our kids will soon receive further protection from second-hand smoke; thanks to legislation we introduced which bans smoking inside vehicles with children under the age of 16 in them.

• Effective January 1, 2010, talking on a cell phone or texting while driving will be against the law.
• We introduced legislation that will better protect consumers from artificially-high ticket prices for concerts and other events.

We also took action to address the challenge of lower potash revenues.  In the end, the budget remains balanced, historic tax cuts will stay in place and the provincial debt has been reduced by 40 per cent, all within two years.

So (Premier Wall) trying to dampen that concern, but I don’t blame him, because that’s what losers do.”

“I am glad you raised that because it's important that people get to know that I didn't say a loser.”
Dwain Lingenfelter, December 30, 2009 (year-end interview)

“…when I refer to a loser I am not talking about anyone but Brad Wall.”  
Dwain Lingenfelter, January 11, 2010 (news conference)

What??

The first time Dwain Lingenfelter called the Premier a loser was last October.  When questioned on television about why he called the Premier a loser, Lingenfelter said he had never used the word when referring to the Premier.   Two weeks later, Lingenfelter said he was only referring to the Premier and no one else when he made his ‘loser’ comments.
