The reviews are in

Bruce Johnstone slams the Wall government's politicization of Saskatchewan's Crowns as part of its general failure to treat them as functional organizations:

The shuffle of Crown corporation heads announced by the Saskatchewan Party government this week bore more resemblance to a game of musical chairs than a serious effort at executive recruitment for companies with billions in assets.

In fact, the intermingling of senior government officials and Crown corporation executives had all the earmarks of a government that regards Crown corporations as mere arms of government, rather than state-owned businesses requiring discrete skill sets and expertise to manage.
...
(T)he Saskatchewan Party, according to its own party policy resolutions, would have us believe that Crowns are "important tools in the provision of utility services to Saskatchewan families and business and important partners in the economic development of Saskatchewan."

Moreover, the Crowns are mandated to "provide high quality utility and insurance services and customer satisfaction to Saskatchewan people at the lowest possible cost." Those seem like fairly apolitical objectives to me.

But what we've seen from the Sask Party government (rather the party of the same name) is the same old political interference and fuzzy thinking that has passed for good guidance and governance for decades.
