‘I fully support these principles, and encourage MPs, in the best interest of Swift Current & District and of all Canadians, to focus their efforts in a non-partisan manner towards advancing these principles,’ says Shauna Fjaagesund, President of the Swift Current & District Chamber of Commerce.

While Swift Current and Saskatchewan are projecting economic growth for 2009, we are not immune to what is happening in other regions of Canada or the rest of the world. In this regard, the Swift Current & District Chamber of Commerce finds it extremely disconcerting that the discourse since the tabling of the Economic Update has been almost exclusively focused on political gains and posturing.

‘It is time to stop playing political games and concentrate on measures to immediately bolster investor and consumer confidence and restore economic growth. Canadians deserve no less from their elected officials,’ concluded Fjaagesund.
