The issue was raised by vice-chair of the board, Derek Schmidt, who asked if the Saskatchewan Chamber was always in regular communication and advocating with the province on the importance of reopening. Chief Operating Officer Linda Machniak responded in the affirmative, noting the Saskatchewan Chamber business council had been meeting with trade and export minister Jeremy Harrison the previous week. Machniak said they are in regular contact not only with the government but with other stakeholder groups as well. There has been lots of discussion, she said, about not having competing messages out there.
