Saskatchewan Premier Moe says independent MLA Wilson should step down, run in byelection
“Many folks are saying they didn’t vote for an independent member of the legislature and they don’t feel they’re being represented,” Moe said in the chamber Thursday morning, before alluding to former NDP MLAdecision to leave provincial politics and run for federal office triggering a byelection.
She said it’s ‘business as usual’ in Saskatchewan Rivers and that she has not heard calls for a byelection from her constituents.The comments followed a question in which Wilson questioned the motives behind Bill 70.
“What would be the ministerial or staff consequences for individuals knowingly conducting surveillance in the legislative assembly deploying a hidden camera in an MLAs office in the building?” Wilson asked.
According to a 2007 Regina Leader-Post article, the incident was acknowledged in the legislature in May of that year to have happened in 2002 in former MLA Brenda Bakken-Lackey’s office, involved a private security firm and is alleged to have involved the theft of a $20 or $50 bill.Following question period, Moe said, “there was advice given at that point in time by the sergeant-at-arms that likely should have been brought in earlier.
