Minister Jane Stewart and Minister Pat Atkinson insult public responsibility

Minister Jane Stewart and Minister Pat Atkinson: insulting public responsibility

By Mario deSantis, February 12, 2000

This morning, while having breakfast and watching TV, I overheard the comment made by federal

all the money "...is in your communities ..." Minister of Human Resources Jane Stewart mentioning that no matter the administrative problems

affecting the $1 billion jobs program⁽¹⁾, all the money "...is in your communities ..." I found this

comment disastrous and again my contempt for today's politicians became more acute. This feeling

of disgust for our political leadership comes when I just wrote the article "Don't trust statistics, don't

trust Honourable MacKinnon, trust yourself⁽²⁾."

defending the $50 Million overrun As we have seen in our previous articles, we have politicians who if are not pathological liars are

deceptive to say the least. Jane Stewart's statement that money disbursed by the Human Resources

is in our communities reminds me of the statement made by Minister of Health Pat Atkinson "no

one has run with the money" at the time she was defending the $50 Million overrun for the

closure of the Plains Health Centre in Regina⁽³⁾.

Whenever you deal with pathological liars or devious people you cannot ever level your

their responsibility
to disburse public funds
in accordance
to their mandates communication with them. As a consequence, education is the ultimate resource for levelling

our understanding, and I strongly suggest that both Honourable Stewart and Honourable

Atkinson refer to the previous article "Making money is not creating wealth Mr. Premier

Romanow⁽⁴⁾." I want to make clear to these honourable ministers that it is their responsibility

to disburse public funds in accordance to their mandates and that their statements that money

is in your communities or that no one has run with the money should not ever be tolerated by

the public they are supposed to represent. Our politicians are becoming more arrogant and

irresponsible and it is time that their insulting behaviour be publicized and stopped, here in

Saskatchewan and everywhere else.
