CBC - Saskatchewan Votes 2003 (896 words)
Elwin Hermanson has made no bones about what will happen to the province's 80 or so Crown corporations if he wins: he's promised to review them all, kill or privatize the ones that he thinks are underperformers, then refocus the ones that remain toward their “core” responsibilities.
Hermanson denied any ill intent, but the NDP called it proof that many of those people could lose their jobs in a post-election purge by a victorious Saskatchewan Party.
Its platform has three significant planks: Hermanson's insistence on not catering to one geographical or ethnic sector at the expense of others, an attack on wasteful spending by the NDP government, and a plan to increase Saskatchewan's population by 100,000 within a decade.
