Government is boosting its Ready For Growth infrastructure program by another 50 per cent or $500 million for a total investment of $1.5 billion in 2009-10.

This is the largest capital commitment in Saskatchewan's history and is three times the capital spending of just four years ago.

This increased capital commitment for 2009-10 sends a clear signal to industry that Saskatchewan is Ready for Growth and that Government is taking steps to ensure the infrastructure is in place to handle the demands of a strong economy.

Saskatchewan Government Capital and Infrastructure Budget

• The 2008-09 Budget introduced a significant new capital investment program to ensure Saskatchewan is ready for growth.  The Government introduced a $1 billion capital and infrastructure plan which included investments in highways, health facilities and schools.

*Individual projects will be determined in the 2009-10 Budget process.
