There have been many discussions lately on how we, as a community and as a province, learn to live with COVID-19.

A solemn ceremony was held in Regina as Members of the Legislative Assembly and the Saskatchewan Ukrainian community paid tribute to lives lost during Holodomor from 1932 through 1933. This genocide was the Soviet Union imposed famine that led to the deaths of up to 10 million people. Despite a record harvest, the Soviet government confiscated crops and imposed regulations preventing people from finding or receiving food. Holodomor means "extermination by hunger" in Ukrainian. Canada has the third-highest population of Ukrainians globally, and the local community will honour Holodomor Saturday, November 27th.

04 Apr

Report from the Legislature April 4, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

The federal carbon tax has now been forced on Saskatchewan, adding uncertainty for individuals, families, businesses and communities. From the gas station to the grocery store and all across the province, Saskatchewan people are now being forced to absorb higher costs on just about everything including our power and energy bills.

28 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 28, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Members of the Legislative Assembly have been debating the 2019-20 Provincial Budget – a responsible and sustainable plan to balance the budget this year, and in the years to come. The debate, however, brought forward some questionable remarks from the NDP’s newest MLA who defended the former government’s closure of 176 schools and 52 hospitals by saying “maybe those places should have been closed”. He even suggested that our protective services “don’t prevent crime”, they only respond to it.

21 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 21, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

The 2019 Provincial Budget is a balanced budget – and it's the right balance for Saskatchewan. It's the right balance between keeping your taxes low and providing quality services for our children, families, and seniors. It's the right balance between important investments in both urban and rural Saskatchewan. And it's the right balance for building a stronger economy and creating jobs, now and in the future.

14 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 14, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

From the Trudeau carbon tax and troublesome federal legislation such as Bill C-69, to the challenge of Canadian canola shipments being turned away at port in China, the spring sitting of the legislature is about standing up for Saskatchewan.

07 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 7, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

The economic outlook for Saskatchewan is strong. Jobs are up, unemployment is down and exports are expected to increase.

28 Feb

Report from the Legislature February 28, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Report from the Legislature January 17, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Saskatchewan is off to a strong start in 2019. Despite challenging world resource prices and national headwinds, Saskatchewan pulled through and created nearly 11,000 new jobs this past year.

03 Jan

Report from the Legislature January 3, 2019 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

13 Dec

Report from the Legislature December 13, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Saskatchewan people are proud of our contributions to Canada. It is frustrating, however, when provinces like Quebec say there is “no social acceptability” for oil from western Canada when, at the same time, there seems to be a lot of social acceptability for Equalization payments from western Canada.

06 Dec

Report from the Legislature December 6, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

I want to thank the thousands of SaskPower, SaskEnergy, SaskTel, emergency service workers, and many working across government Ministries for their tremendous response and their work through a major power outage affecting nearly one-third of SaskPower customers. Together their actions showcased the very best of Saskatchewan and that effort deserves recognition.

29 Nov

Report from the Legislature November 29, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Two years ago, our government prepared a 3-year plan to balance the budget while keeping our investment climate competitive and ensuring long-term economic strength. While we still face challenges, our province is well-positioned to weather them and emerge even stronger.

22 Nov

Report from the Legislature November 22, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Pipelines are the safest, most efficient, and most sustainable way to get our oil to world markets. The problem for Saskatchewan and for all of Canada right now is that pipelines are being blocked, not built. The federal government has killed two projects, stalled a third, and we can’t get our oil to tidewater as a result. Inaction is costing Canadians every day.

15 Nov

Report from the Legislature November 15, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Your Saskatchewan Party government maintains its focus on growth and opportunity because a strong economy is essential to strengthen communities and make life better not just for ourselves, but for our friends, neighbours, and future generations.

18 Oct

Report from the Legislature October 18, 2018 (Part 2) Saskatchewan Party Caucus

With the legalization of cannabis occurring across Canada, I want to ensure everyone is clear on what the new rules are when it comes to the legal purchase and possession of cannabis in Saskatchewan. Our government is committed to public safety, and it’s important for people to understand there are limitations on what is allowed, much the same as with alcohol consumption.

18 Oct

Report from the Legislature October 18, 2018 (Part 1) Saskatchewan Party Caucus

23 Aug

Report from the Legislature August 23, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Summer is always a great time to get back to our communities, reach out to constituents and gather feedback on how we can work together to build a better province. Whether it is fighting the carbon tax or fixing Canada’s flawed equalization program, your Saskatchewan Party government will always stand with the people of this great province. Right now we need to bring attention to a troublesome piece of legislation for our natural resource sector.

09 Aug

Report from the Legislature August 8, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

After two years of telling us that a carbon tax would not affect Canada’s competitiveness and hurt our economy, the federal government has finally admitted that it will. The Trudeau government recently announced that they will now reduce the amount of tax companies are required to pay on their greenhouse gas emissions.

26 Jul

Report from the Legislature July 26, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

One of the reasons we pursue economic growth is so we can help support families and those most vulnerable in our communities. One of the ways our government is working to do this is through individualized funding for children under the age of six with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

12 Jul

Report from the Legislature July 12, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Summer in Saskatchewan is a great time to enjoy recreation and relaxation. When travelling throughout our province, our government understands the importance of high-speed internet and cellular connections both in business and in our personal lives. We also understand that too many rural areas still have poor cellular coverage and slow internet service which is why we’re working with SaskTel to expand and enhance its network.

12 Jul

Report from the Legislature July 12, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

At a time when the NDP wants us to wave the white flag and allow Justin Trudeau to force a carbon tax on the people of our province, new analysis confirms why our government has never supported the tax and is challenging it in court.

28 Jun

Report from the Legislature June 28, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Each year at this time we come together to celebrate our country, its identity, our shared values, and our collective good fortune to live here. Canada is a country that works, but like all countries, Canada is imperfect and one of its enduring imperfections is the federal equalization program. The objective to ensure all Canadians have access to a comparable level of service is commendable, but the program designed to do that is flawed.

14 Jun

Report from the Legislature June 14, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Saskatchewan’s population has reached another all-time high, topping 1.17 million for the first time. Once known as a great place to be from, Saskatchewan is the place to be.

24 May

Report from the Legislature May 24, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Premier Scott Moe advocated for Saskatchewan’s interests at the Western Premiers Conference in Yellowknife, including on the issue of pipelines, to ensure we can get our resources to world markets. Saskatchewan is a landlocked province looking for continued access to Canada’s coastline and we will fight for our constitutional right to get our products to port and to customers around the world.

17 May

Report from the Legislature May 17, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

03 May

Report from the Legislature May 3, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

The ability to see a doctor, whether they are a specialist or a general practitioner, is one of the most important aspects of our health care system. Our government prioritized physician recruitment and retention upon coming to office in 2007, and since then we’ve seen nearly 900 more doctors – a 51% increase. This includes significant increases in general practitioners (43%), specialists (62%), and pediatricians (98%).

26 Apr

Report from the Legislature April 26, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Report from the Legislature April 19, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Over the past decade of growth, Saskatchewan's expanded exports and new business investments here at home have given our province the second-fastest rate of job creation and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. The 2018-19 Saskatchewan Budget will help to ensure Saskatchewan's economy stays on track as we begin another decade of growth.

12 Apr

Report from the Legislature April 12, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Our Government has a plan to return Saskatchewan to a balanced budget by next year, and that plan is on track. The Government of Saskatchewan continues to control and carefully manage spending in the 2018-19 Provincial Budget. Many ministries are forecasting lower spending than in the previous fiscal year, while continuing to provide valued core services that are sustainable into the future.

05 Apr

Report from the Legislature April 5, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

From gas and groceries to clothing and other necessities, provinces across Canada are finding out how carbon taxes drive up costs and make it harder for families to make ends meet. Not only do carbon taxes hurt families by making their day-to-day lives more expensive, they threaten their jobs by making our export-based economies less competitive in a global market.

29 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 29, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Our government recently announced the creation of a financial literacy curriculum for students across Saskatchewan. For the first time, students will be able to use financial literacy as a credit towards their graduation.

The curriculum for these classes will be written soon, with full implementation in our schools by September 2019.

22 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 22, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

There is new leadership in the legislature but the first few weeks of the Spring Sitting have revealed that some things never change. At a time when our government is on track to balance the budget, the new leader of the NDP has put forward a new $2.5 billion platform. Not only has the NDP endorsed a plan that would add $2.5 billion in new spending every year, they have yet to unveil a realistic way to pay for their promises.

15 Mar

Report from the Legislature March 15, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Spring is a time of renewal and new beginnings, and this Spring Sitting of the Saskatchewan Legislature is no exception.

18 Jan

Report from the Legislature January 18, 2018 Saskatchewan Party Caucus

Every province in Canada has now imposed some version of the Trudeau carbon tax – every province except Saskatchewan.

On his last day in the Legislative Assembly, Premier Brad Wall reflected on service to the province and its people by asking the question: “did you leave things better than you found them?” While there will always be more work to do, I believe that if you can answer that question with a “yes”, then you have done your part to leave a legacy that is worthy of this province.

It is important to respond to a question that comes up every so often in Saskatchewan.

About Warren

Community Links

I am a lifelong resident of Churchbridge.

Warren has a Degree in Agriculture from the U of S and has maintained a Professional Agrologist designation since graduating. He was a 30 year past owner of Wagon Wheel Seed Corp along with his wife and parents. They produced and processed pedigreed seed grain for customers throughout the area and exported into Eastern Canada and the United States until selling the farm to a young couple from Alberta in 2012. Carla, Warren’s wife, worked for many years as an educator with Parkland College and was also the Administrator for the Town of Churchbridge. They have two adult sons, Michael a Design Engineer with Rockford Engineering Works Ltd. in Regina. His wife, Laine works for the provincial government. Matthew, is an aerospace engineer in Ontario, receiving his education at Carlton University in Ottawa.

Warren has been active as Chairperson for the Churchbridge Economic Development Committee. Highlighted by the building of an 18-suite adult living apartment and the development of the first of its kind in Saskatchewan - High School Mechanical Millwright lab. He has held numerous positions on various community, provincial and national boards involving Church, professional Agrologist, pedigreed seed production, sports, regional economic development, the Sask Party and the federal Conservative party. He has also been an advisor to the Agriculture Development Fund and was employed as the Executive Director of Sask Farm Stewardship Assoc.

His involvement with youth included coaching minor baseball, hockey and officiating hockey. He served on the local School Community Council for numerous years. While operating their seed business they provided a science-based scholarship to the graduating class of Churchbridge High School. Each year the farm would employ numerous summer students on a casual and part-time basis.

Warren and Carla were presented the National Outstanding Young Farmers Award in 1999 and are still active alumni members holding executive positions in the provincial OYF group mentoring many of the new provincial nominees.

Warren inherited his fiscal conservative values from his father who was a lifelong member of the conservative movement. He began his political career by putting up posters and signs with his dad for their provincial constituency association with elected MLA’s Walter Johnson and Bob Bjornerud. His father instilled the value of an educated opinion repeating only the facts that you know. If you are going to complain about something you better have a solution you can put forward. Admit you don’t know everything but find good people who do and value their opinion. Warren truly believes he can and will make a difference in the lives of people that come looking for solutions. He is a consensus builder and always believes that there is middle ground to be found in solving any problem.
