He met and spoke with doctors, nurses, SHA facility managers and healthcare personnel, along with members of our Lloydminster Concerned Citizens for Seniors Care, Hospice on the Border Society, the Mayor and members of the Bi-Provincial Health Advisory, Libby Young Center and Resident in Recovery folks.
There is so much more work to do in meeting the healthcare needs of this constituency and I have been working consistently and strongly to get that message across! I have met and worked with a local community business supporter for land to build a new long-term care facility in Lloydminster.
I have been pushing to get the new Renal Dialysis facility in place, which was supposed to be done years ago. I have also been strongly advocating for file sharing, expansion of our emergency department at the hospital, funding for additional orthopedic surgeries, ICU and mental health stabilization beds, pushing both SHA and AHS to quickly move forward with capital needs assessment for the community and looking at different considerations for assessment and placement of
seniors in long term care.
The Saskatchewan First Act was introduced and passed in the Legislature during the spring session.
The impetus for this originally came from the executive of the Lloydminster Constituency in a proposed resolution, which was discussed at a Sask. Party caucus retreat, then passed at the convention last year. The government acted on it!
After the Bill was introduced in the house, I spoke at length, to the Saskatchewan First Act and what it means for the economic growth and prosperity of the people of this province. The Constitution clearly defines the province’s right to manage its own natural resources and not the Federal government!
Saskatchewan’s 4-point Health Human Resources Action Plan is seeing significant and successful results and I was able to introduce a Private Member’s motion on this in the legislature.
Member Statements in the assembly allow me to highlight and share great stories from around my constituency. I also take the opportunity, to speak up in my member statements, to let people know that the NDP opposition does not take pride in
the hardworking, and caring people of this province, regularly contradict themselves, and are part of the problem we have with our federal government!
As a committee member of the Government Operations Committee, I get to listen, ask questions and debate with Ministers, Ministry bureaucrats, and my fellow colleagues every week on all and any changes to Acts or Regulations that are being proposed or introduced, before it goes to Cabinet.
I also sit on the Red Tape Reduction Committee. These are very important committees for decision-making within the government and I am proud and honoured to be asked to be a part of these discussions.
As chair of the Standing Committee on the Economy, the opportunity to meet with various industry and business leaders to support what makes them successful and strong contributors to our economy is another important role I am honoured to serve.
I am the representative on the Steering Committee of the Saskatchewan Common Wealth Women’s Parliamentary Association and have had the
opportunity to speak at conventions and meetings for Equal Voice, which supports and encourages women in leadership and political roles. We need more strong women advocates in government!
Saskatchewan Party candidate and representative for Lloydminster for the next 4 years.” – Warren Steinley, MP Regina-Lewvan.
