Saskatchewan strong

Jan 4, 2011 | 11:13 AM

Forward momentum of the province’s economy continues in the new year.

BMO deputy chief economist Doug Porter tells CKOM's/CJME's John Gormley Live that Saskatchewan is poised for relatively robust growth this year.

“We don’t think it will be a barn burner, but we think the economy will grow by about four per cent, which will be the best in Canada,” he said.

Porter says the main driver will be the strength of resource commodities and an expected bounce-back in the agriculture sector.
