The Regina 2007 police budget is now available on ActUp. The proposal includes 24 additional front-line officers in the community services division, including two officers dedicated to combatting child sexual exploitation. Much of this is funded by a $449,000 in community policing and anti-child exploitation grants from the province. The feds will tip in $100,000 for drug policing. The service requested an additional $875,200 from the City in 2007, saying this would amount to a two per cent increase. The city appears to have complied in its annual budget, although the city's number-crunchers report the same $875,200 as a 3.7 per cent increase.

The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) has rejected the BC/Alberta Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA). The following is posted on the SUMA website under the highlights from their March 23-24 Board of Directors meeting held in Regina: (see: http://www.suma.org/siteengine/activepage.asp?NewsID=131) "SUMA Policy and Communication Services presented a draft report on the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement. Based on the information, the board of directors has several concerns about the potential impact for urban municipalities. A motion was passed that SUMA oppose Saskatchewan’s involvement in this agreement. However, should the province choose to begin negotiations to sign the agreement, then SUMA strongly believes that urban municipalities need to be at the negotiation table as an order of government. If this request is not supported by the province, then urban municipalities will demand a full exemption from the agreement." |

Provincial Budget Re-invests in Social Policy The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, the organization representing the largest number of taxpayers in the province is pleased that Calvert’s 2007 budget is devoting substantial resources to building up the social infrastructure of the province. “Corporate profits have never been higher, taxes are set at a rate competitive with other jurisdictions across the country – now is the time to re-invest in people and services we all value,” said SFL President Larry Hubich Thursday.
