Sask Party MLAs deflect committee attempt to call witnesses into gun in Legislature

REGINA — Members of the governing Saskatchewan Party are rebuffing an Opposition attempt to call witnesses to answer questions on weapons allegations against a cabinet minister.

In a meeting of the House Services Committee, Opposition New Democrat member Vicki Mowat proposed a motion that would summon senior Saskatchewan Party leaders, including Premier Scott Moe, to the committee.

Jeremy Harrison, who holds two cabinet posts in Moe’s government, has said he brought a rifle into the legislature about 10 years ago.

The NDP want a full investigation, saying the facts of Harrison’s story keep changing, but Saskatchewan Party members on the committee amended the motion to hand the issue off to a separate process set up by legislature.

New Democrat Meara Conway objected that that process is conducted in private and that the issue should be dealt with publicly.
