We promised it. We delivered it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"607135\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Furthermore, Saskatchewan received the best deal on equalization. We received $878 million of new funding, a higher per capita payment than any other province in Canada. That is a great deal for Saskatchewan.</p>",

Nous avons fait cette promesse et nous l'avons tenue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"607135\" data-originallang=\"en\">En outre, la Saskatchewan a fait la meilleure affaire au chapitre de la p\u00e9r\u00e9quation. Nous avons re\u00e7u 878 millions de dollars en nouveaux fonds, soit un montant par habitant qui est plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 que dans toute autre province. Il s'agit l\u00e0 d'une excellente affaire pour la Saskatchewan. </p>"
