REGINA — Retiring Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall attended his last cabinet and caucus meetings Wednesday and offered some examples beforehand of what he sees as the province’s accomplishments since he became its leader. A new leader of the governing Saskatchewan Party is to be chosen in Saskatoon on Saturday. There are five candidates and the winner is expected to be sworn in as premier next week. Wall, who has been premier since 2007, said he recognizes there is more work to do, including current contract negotiations with teachers and continuing efforts to reduce the deficit. “While other provinces are growing their economy and creating more jobs, Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate is the highest it’s been in two decades,” said jobs critic Vicki Mowat.
