The NDP Opposition believes the change in former Government House Leader Jeremy Harrison’s story concerning his visit to the legislative building with a gun warrants his removal from the Sask. Party’s cabinet and caucus.
Harrison admitted to bringing a long gun to the legislature after initially denying the incident ever took place.
“This is about trust and accountability,” Ethics and Democracy Critic Meara Conway told reporters Monday.
Two weeks have now passed since Speaker Randy Weekes publically aired his grievances with Harrison – making a wide array of accusations including harassment and intimidation.
Additionally, Weekes’ made the claim Harrison sought to carry a handgun in the legislature and once brought a long gun to the building.
An email between the Sergeant-at-Arms and the Speaker of the House in 2016 showed that security staff were close to alerting the building that someone with a gun was approaching the legislature – but stopped short when Harrison was recognized.
The Saskatchewan NDP continues to push for an investigation into Harrison’s actions.
