Without visible federal leadership, our communities will have a difficult time in dealing with the provincial government.
Let us take, for instance, school governance. The Saskatchewan government did not want to hear about the school governance program, but we implemented it nonetheless. The Saskatchewan government was more or less forced to do it and now it thinks that it is a good thing and useful for the community. It took funds to implement the school governance project.
When we are able to implement permanent programs and the ordinary citizens of Saskatchewan realize that these programs are not a threat to them, and on the contrary, that they are a contribution to the community's well-being, they accept them. However, before gaining the acceptance of social changes that might take 20 years, we need resources. I think that we must also show leadership.
