Premier Scott Moe faced the leadership review during the Saskatchewan Party Convention on Saturday at TCU Place in Saskatoon.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe will remain leader of the Saskatchewan Party after more than 80 per cent of the party’s membership supported the premier’s leadership.
Moe faced the leadership review during the Saskatchewan Party Convention on Saturday at TCU Place in Saskatoon. Leadership reviews are customary at the convention.
As part of its constitution, the party does not release the exact percentage of the vote if it is over 80 per cent.
The event was scaled back due to the pandemic. Attendees had to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test and were required to wear masks except when eating, drinking or during speeches.
During his speech before the leadership review vote, Moe largely spoke about the party’s success in the 2020 provincial election and his party’s commitment to economic recovery.
“I think this next decade most certainly is Saskatchewan’s decade. I am very confident that we are going to be able to build not only a stronger Saskatchewan, but a safer Saskatchewan, a more educated Saskatchewan, a healthier Saskatchewan, (and) a more independent Saskatchewan,” Moe told his party.
Moe praised Saskatchewan’s employment rate, export growth and growing tech sector in his leader speech.
He also credited projects over $10 million that have been committed to that will create jobs in the community.
