It was held on June 11, 1975, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

 College Quarterly - Winter 1996   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Like leaders in today's learning organizations, Allan Blakeney is profiled as one who sought to create a climate in which public servants and his ministers felt relatively free to risk and make mistakes, and to learn from them.
Blakeney understood the linkages among bureaucracy, government, people and communities, and he instilled a sense of empowerment and ownership of policy initiatives to the community level through an art of top-down governing and bottom-up planning said to be held only by those politicians who excel.
The highlights which may be seen as central to innovation in the public sector were Allan Blakeney's belief in people, his willingness to experience adversity to promote change, and the support he had garnered around the province from his role as a public servant and the various political offices held over his career.

Blakeney often reminded his ministers that they were members of the Executive Council, and his deputies that they worked for the government, not just their ministers.
In many ways, Blakeney functioned as the Chairman of the Board of corporate Saskatchewan: (4) the Cabinet was the senior Board of Directors, and the Deputy Ministers and Crown corporation heads were Presidents of their firms.
Blakeney in turn gave deputies their visionary mission statements for their policy sector for the year, and they went away to implement them.

 TIJ Book: Chapter 2
Blakeney had been Provincial Treasurer in the Woodrow Lloyd government, was his own Treasurer during most of the first year and for his first budget, and continued to be keenly interested and involved in financial issues throughout his government.
Like other governments, beginning in the late 1960s, and coming into its own during the Blakeney government, debt for the crown corporations and lending to cover the costs of the early months of the fiscal year for the government were actively managed.
Although the Blakeney government came into power in recession, within a few years the economy improved substantially, due to increases in oil prices (the price of oil quadrupled in 1973-74), improvements in crops and agricultural prices, and increased demand for potash.
