CEO’s Message

It’s time to TOOT our own horn!

September 2013 Spiritual Celebrations

1: First Parkash Guru Granth Sahib Ji - Sikh5-6: Rosh Hashanah - Jewish9: Ganesh Charurthi - Hindu10: Samvatsari (Day of Forgiveness) - Jain10: Paryushana Parva - Jain14: Yom Kippur - Jewish22: Mabon/Ostara - Wiccan/Pagan

A member called me in early July and told me a story. He was going through all the organizational memberships he paid for and the total dollar cost was getting up there. He asked what the return on investment (ROI) was on our fees. So we started to calculate the actual cash return and came up with something, we think is incredible.

We calculated the return he receives to his bottom line from just the tax changes he receives because of direct and focused lobbying by the Saskatchewan Chamber and it was into the thousands of dollars each year. That’s far more than what he paid in membership fee to us.

Because we’re Saskatchewan, we don’t “toot our own horn” very often - but that’s about to change.

We calculated the direct savings every private business receives in tax reduction by reforms we have successful led the effort to change.

The end result is that you are receiving $860 per employee (see info sheet on the following page). That’s $860 per employee to your bottom line each year.

We were amazed and more than a little proud. That return is in real dollars.

Consider the additional benefits of our research department, insights and connections you can receive at the Political Forum, Make a Connection Reception and other events we host.

Consider the thrill of being an ABEX Finalist and the goodwill it produces for your team, customers and community when you bring an ABEX home.

Clearly, we as staff and Board of Directors didn’t take all the credit because it’s your investment that has produced this amazing result.

So let me say Thank You and Please. Thank You for all of the support and input you have given us over the years, and Please continue to call, write and attend. We are your organization; It is your voice we use to talk to government!

To the fellow who asked the right question, I say “great question”. When you look at all of the membership options for your business - simply do the math.

With an ROI directly to your bottom line of $860 per employee in tax savings alone, we are proud of the work we have done and together there is more success ahead.

Again, thanks and please “Toot your Horn” as this is worthy of us all celebrating.

From Here to There Editor’s Column

Fall forward“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

Back when I was a student, the advent of September meant, in a way, the start of a new year, the chance to be older, cooler, smarter than you were last year.

Those new clothes were agonized over; you wanted a ‘new look’ but not too ‘different’ from everyone else. I remember putting my name painstakingly on each scribbler, and filling pencil cases with newly-sharpened pencil crayons. It was a really exciting time.

Inevitably, within a few short weeks, all the newness had worn off and the school year looked much like any of the previous ones - but for just a short while, there was such potential!

As Wallace Stegner wrote in Angle of Repose, “[T]hat old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air ... Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year’s mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”

I always get a chuckle from the office supplies ads that use the Christmas song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time (of the year)”. As a parent of three, I remember that feeling. After a long, hot, boring (their word, not mine) summer, late August signaled a turning of the seasons and I had the opportunity to view the familiar anticipation from a different vantage point (albeit, a vantage point that hurt the wallet).

This year, like the past few, I only have one going “back to school” - and it’s university, at that. Lots of my friends’ kids are embarking on their first year university adventure, and it’s kind of nice to be experienced at it.

Those pangs of knowing your baby is going far away to study are pretty much cushioned, after a few years of the routine, by the knowledge that they’ll be back (when their laundry is dirty, when they are homesick, at holidays and summer). But you still enjoy the potential of a new school year along with them.

Fall at the Sask Chamber also holds a great deal of anticipation and potential. In just a couple of weeks, a new slate of ABEX finalists will be chosen (and if you thought a new backpack was exciting, let me assure you it’s nothing compared to the possibility of earning

one of those shiny red trophies!). Again, all of our sponsors are generously coming together to make this a memorable event for some of the province’s brightest and best business people.

I encourage you to attend the ABEX Awards on October 26 in Saskatoon. Our 30th anniversary event, it will be a great chance to look back, while at the same time, appreciating today’s business success stories and looking to a bright future for the province.

By Dawn M. Barker

We’re partnering with Martin Charlton Communications to bring a series of great workshops to you; on October 17, Gair Maxwell will speak on the importance of personal branding. For more information, see this edition of the action! online, or visit our website.

We’re also working on the idea of incorporating productivity into the workplace, and have a couple initiatives on the go right now that we’re all very excited about. Watch the action online for further details.

For our provincial political leaders, fall means getting prepared for a new sitting of the Legislative Assembly - and we will be right there beside them, doing our best to advocate on our members’ behalf.

I urge you, as this season turns to begin anew, to pause, and ask yourself what you’re doing to celebrate the possibilities in your life, whether at home or at work.

Consider trying something new - it may be a way to thank your customers, a new type of service or product offered, or something small like incorporating a walk after supper.

Do it with mindfulness and gratefulness, and welcome the good that change can bring. Instead of “spring forward, fall back”, why not try to fall forward this year?

“Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year’s mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”

Members in the NewsAnderson Pump House marks 30 years

Congratulations to Anderson Pump House, which recently celebrated 30 years of service excellence!

SRC announces economic impact results for 2012-13

The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) recently released its economic impact results for the 2012-13 fiscal year.

For every dollar the province invested in SRC over the past year, the Council provided a more than 29-times return to the growth of the Saskatchewan economy. That translated into more than $559 million in direct economic benefits to the province.

SRC’s work also contributed to the creation or maintenance of more than 2,700 jobs in Saskatchewan, valued at more than $169 million

– the largest number since SRC initiated tracking these numbers 10 years ago.As part of its commitment to conducting its business in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, SRC has submitted its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report to the Global Reporting Initiative for the third year in a row.

Some highlights from SRC’s 2012-13 CSR activities include: • 66 per cent of SRC’s projects achieved positive socio-environment impacts; • More than $36 million in projects aimed at creating positive environmental and/or social impacts were undertaken; and • SRC’s work contributed to more than 22,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions reduction/prevention and energy savings in excess of 44 million kWh/year.

Agricultural BulletinThe Water Security Agency is launching its first ever online consultation forum to receive input from Saskatchewan residents on agricultural drainage. The forum will focus on agricultural drainage and be active from September 1 to March 31. It allows participants to discuss a range of topics related to agricultural drainage, including downstream flooding, water quality, and effects on biodiversity. Forum participants will also be able to interact with each other and will be asked to participate in a series of discussions and surveys.The forum is now accepting clients. Farmers, ranchers and landowners with an interest in agricultural drainage, and people impacted by or concerned about agricultural drainage, are encouraged to sign up now and help create a new drainage policy for the province by visiting the Water Security Agency’s website at wsask.ca or http://agdrainage.insightrix.com.

Warm weather with few little rain interruptions over the past week has helped speed crop development. Harvest operations have begun in many areas of the province. Less than one per cent of the 2013 provincial crop has been combined, while four per cent has been swathed or is ready to straight combine, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. The five-year average (2008-2012) for this time of year is seven per cent combined and nine per cent swathed or ready to straight cut. Across the province, five per cent of the peas and winter wheat and two per cent of the lentils have been combined. Five per cent of the canola has been swathed. Swathing of canola has started in

the southern regions of the province and is expected to start in the northeast and northwest regions within the week. Desiccation of pulses has just started in the northeast and northwest regions. Warm temperatures will be needed into the harvest season to get the majority of the crop in the bin in good condition.

The Ministry of Agriculture has amended the rules for the Livestock Loan Guarantee (LLG) Program. Individual maximum loan limits have been increased under the Cattle Feeder and Cattle Breeder options. The combined individual maximum limit under both options has been increased along with. Individual maximum loan limits for the Bison Feeder and Bison Breeder options. Other changes include increasing the corporate maximum loan limit under cattle and bison feeder and breeder options from $300,000 to $1.5 million. Previously, corporate and individual borrowing limits were the same. LLG supervisors now have the authority to allow the interprovincial movement of cattle enrolled under the feeder and breeder options. The new rules will help to reduce barriers to livestock expansion and reflect a modern and evolving industry. Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags on calves as an alternative to brands are now permitted under the Cattle Breeder Option. The tagging date for calves under the Bison Breeder option has changed from December 1 of the year of birth to March 31 of the year after birth, to align with the weaning process.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT

The Government of Saskatchewan recently approved SaskEnergy’s application for a two-year delivery service rate increase. At the same time, government announced SaskEnergy will not be applying for a commodity rate change this winter. With the change to the delivery service rate, the average monthly bill for residential customers will increase 2.1 per cent beginning Sept 1, 2013 and 1.2 per cent beginning Sept 1, 2014. A typical residential customer could see an average increase of $1.46/month in the first year and $0.87/month in the second year, depending on natural gas usage.

Average weekly earnings in June were $952.63, the second highest in the nation and the highest ever for the month of June, according to a report released by Statistics Canada recently. Nationally, average weekly earnings were $918.67. Wages were up 4.2 per cent on a year-over-year basis in the province, the highest increase in the nation and well ahead of the 2.6 per cent recorded nationally. Even after inflation is factored in, Saskatchewan had a real wage increase of 2.5 per cent , again the highest increase among the provinces.

Recently, Premier Brad Wall and Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) Chief Perry Bellegarde signed a new Bilateral Protocol between the Government of Saskatchewan and the FSIN.With this new Protocol, the government and the FSIN commit to working together to achieve positive outcomes for First Nations people. The Bilateral Protocol sets out a framework for ongoing dialogue and regular meeting on shared priorities. It establishes a two-tier process of engagement: • A political steering committee will be co- chaired by Premier Wall and Chief Bellegarde. Cabinet ministers and members of the FSIN’s executive council will meet at the call of the co- chairs to discuss matters of mutual interest. • A senior officials committee will be co-chaired by the Deputy Minister of Government Relations, who is also the Deputy Minister of First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs, and the FSIN’s Executive Operating Officer. This

group will provide support to the political steering committee as required.

Retail sales in June hit a record for the month totalling $1.6 billion, according to a new report released by Statistics Canada recently. Another report on employment insurance claims show Saskatchewan had a drop of 3.0 per cent in claims on a year-over-year basis. Annually, retail sales climbed up 6.1 per cent, the third best in the nation. On a monthly basis, retail sales were up 1.2 per cent between May 2013 and June 2013, the fourth highest percentage increase among the provinces.

Saskatchewan had the second lowest number of regular EI beneficiaries as a percentage of the working-age population at 1.3 per cent. On a month-over-month basis, the number of regular EI beneficiaries dropped 2.4 per cent, the second best among Canadian provinces.

Business for Saskatchewan exporters rose 4.3 per cent in the first six months of 2013, generating more than $17.5 billion in sales and putting the province on pace to surpass its annual export record, set in 2012. Strong sales in key Asian markets pushed export numbers higher in the first half of the year. Exports to India more than doubled, soaring from $264 million to $553 million, a 109.6 per cent increase. Sales to China were up 16.7 per cent, to $1.5 billion, and exports to Japan jumped 8.4 per cent, to $595 million. Total exports to countries outside the United States rose by 10 per cent.Among the provinces, Saskatchewan recorded the third highest increase in exports in the first half of 2013, trailing only Nova Scotia and British Columbia, and was well ahead of the national increase of 0.8 per cent.

Wholesale trade for June 2013 hit a monthly record according to a report released by Statistics Canada recently. In June 2013, wholesale trade totalled $2.07 billion, the highest ever for the month.Saskatchewan’s wholesale trade in June was up by 7.1 per cent over June of 2012, the second highest percentage increase among the provinces.

The average price paid for leases this sale was $690/hectare, the highest since the August 2011 land sale.Year-to-date revenue from the four land sales held in 2013 is $44.3 million. The Weyburn-Estevan area received the most bids with sales of $11.1 million. The Kindersley-Kerrobert area was next at $2.1 million, followed by the Swift Current area at $1.1 million and the Lloydminster area at $688,887.The three oil shale special exploratory permit blocks on offer near Hudson Bay received a total of $4.6 million in work commitment bids from Canshale Corp.The highest price paid for a single parcel was $1.7 million.

The provincial government has entered into a three-year agreement with Ducks Unlimited Canada that will help Saskatchewan to better manage woodland caribou. The three-year agreement provides the ability for the Ministry of Environment to purchase wetland classification data for about 200,000 square kilometres of Saskatchewan’s northern forest. The data will help to define critical habitat for the development of caribou management plans under the federal recovery strategy. Wetlands are a significant habitat for woodland caribou.In partnership with over twenty government agencies and private companies, Ducks Unlimited Canada has completed enhanced wetland classification for approximately 100,000 square kilometres or almost half of Saskatchewan’s Boreal Plain Ecozone. Over the next two years, Ducks Unlimited intends to acquire data for about another 100,000 square kilometres. The total cost of the three-year agreement will be $262,000.

Saskatchewan remains on track to balance its books in 2013-14, with a pre-transfer surplus of $33.0 million

forecast for the General Revenue Fund (GRF). The First Quarter Financial Report, released recently by Finance Minister Ken Krawetz, shows revenue is up $11.8 million (0.1 per cent) from budget, primarily due to higher oil revenue. Expense is up $43.6 million (0.4 per cent) from budget primarily for the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program.

Saskatchewan’s 3.9 per cent employment growth through the first half of 2013 leads the nation, and the province’s unemployment rate has averaged 4.0 per cent over the same period - the lowest in Canada. The number of people working in Saskatchewan is up over 20,000, year-over-year, through the first six months of 2013. Through the first five months of 2013, Saskatchewan also leads national growth in average employment weekly earnings, value of manufacturing sales, and value of wholesale trade.

Recently, Premier Brad Wall appointed Saskatoon Greystone MLA Rob Norris to be the Legislative Secretary for International Trade and Education. In this new role, Norris will report to Economy Minister Bill Boyd. As Legislative Secretary for International Trade and Education, Norris will undertake a number of initiatives: • engage with Saskatchewan exporters, new- comer communities and educational institutions regarding new ways to increase Saskatchewan’s exports to existing and emerging markets; • consult with Saskatchewan exporters, experts and industry, on ways to overcome barriers relating to international trade; • help to enhance Saskatchewan’s international trade by connecting high achieving international students and researchers with Saskatchewan exporters and industry; • in partnership with educational institutions and industry, assist with the recruitment and retention of international students, while also enhancing global opportunities for Saskatchewan students and scholars.

In a Saskatchewan that is not used to thinking about health as a business, many people really must wonder what the answer to the question posed above might be.

First, we should note that there are already many business in health. We just don’t think of them that way. Consider the companies providing private nursing or personal care to people in their homes or in long term care facilities. How about the businesses that provide goods to the health regions such as pharmacies, medical suppliers, disposal services?

What about the companies that provide, launder and replace the rugs in the various hospital and health region facilities? What about the companies that provide alternate health goods and services directly to individuals? Once you start to think about all the ways that companies provide health-related goods and services to people in Saskatchewan, you can start to see the economic activity in health.

Now, think about the payrolls those companies have. They pay employees who in turn purchase goods and services from all of the other businesses in our city. As a former owner of a company that provided nursing and personal care services to individuals and families, I can say that, at our busiest, we had as many as 150 workers on our roster, many of whom worked in every pay period. So, not only did we provide a quality and much-needed service to our clients, we contributed a significant amount to our communities through payroll. Those workers would spend their money in the commu-nity and pay taxes on their earnings. All of this was done without violating the Canada Health Act. And that’s just one business.

Multiply that by the many, many companies in our city also working in the health field and you will begin to see the economic impact of business in health care. Now think about the many companies that can add their ex-pertise and talent to our community should they decide to locate or start a business here. That’s excellent health care added to our government funded system.

Now, think about all of those workers who are earning a living through these companies. By earning a living, they are able to purchase healthy food, appropriate housing and have access to all of the benefits that come with em-ployment, such as the ability to afford a more active and healthy life style. This improves their over all health and improves the productivity in the work force.

Now take that even bigger and ask yourself this question: What is the economic impact of the Mayo Clinic on the city of Rochester?

What if Saskatchewan were able to attract a business like the Mayo Clinic to Saskatoon? Do you think the quality of life here would improve by bringing in hundreds more jobs? More people to purchase houses, spend money in our grocery stores, clothing stores and restaurants? What would the impact be on our health system if we had more citizens earning good salaries? Would there be more taxes available to cover the costs in our health system? What about a healthier community if we had world class health facilities right here in Saskatoon? Food for thought!

These are some of the ideas being discussed at the 2020 Health Visions Conference in November 2013. The theme of the conference is: Health Care Innovation. We Mean Business! For more information on this event, click here.

Snapshot of the Past

34 years ago...Excerpted from the Winter 1979 “Business Review” published by the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce

From “Advertising in the Professions” by L. O. Robinson, President, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Saskatchewan. “Advertising itself has come under attack for years as distasteful and a waste of good money that might be put to better use in reducing the cost to the consumer. Advertisers counter with the argument that advertising creates demand, which in turn creates a larger market for the product, which in turn creates economies of scale and greater productivity, and, thus, ends in

an overall reduction in cost to the consumer.”

From “Saskatchewan May Be The Key” by Dr. John Archer: “It is my belief that Saskatchewan, with its farm background and distinctive way of life, may be a key factor in interpreting Quebec’s sense of isolation and in developing a renewed sense of fraternal closeness that may bind our country together. Saskatchewan, too, has suffered a sense of isolation. Saskatchewan, too, has developed a sense of place in prairie regionalism. To overcome the isolation and to unite region and region there will need to be a sense of Canada - an ideal that transcends myth and geography - a concept that will command the allegiance and the hopes of all Canadians.”
