It took a while, but the Saskatchewan finally repaired the economic damage done by the Progressive Conservative Devine government of the 1980's and the province is now a have province.
The status is dependent on oil prices at this time, but if wheat prices improve and the BSE crisis is solved, even a drop in oil prices will not end the province's status as a have province. Saskatchwan has been diversifying its economy for years and now has growing technology and manufacturing sectors, as well as traditional agriculture and resource-based sectors such as oil and potash.
The NDP government has been working toward this goal since Roy Romanow first came to power and has continued to carefully manage its fiscal situation under Lorne Calvert.
