Today, I responded to a letter from Speaker Randy Weekes on a potential investigation into the May 16 allegations of guns, bullying and harassment in the Legislature. 1/4
We are calling for the House Services Committee to meet as soon as possible to appoint an independent investigator and hear the testimony of four key witnesses.
The public deserves answers.

Minister Harrison has been caught lying at least three times now. We can’t trust a word he says – we need an investigation. At the end of the day, this is about trust and accountability.

You can’t have members of the Sask. Party openly lying to the public and trying to bully the independent Speaker. After 17 years, the Sask. Party clearly feels the rules don’t apply to them.

Let's get personal. Today I had firsthand experience in a Regina emergency department after what has been a painful week. I had a lot of time to think and I want to share a few of my observations. /1
I've been advocating for wait times that are out of control under this government for years now. But I've been lucky I've had mostly good health, and have mostly only dealt with them secondhand. Today, I felt like I was becoming a statistic the longer I sat and waited. /2
It was really hard not to feel like a number as the hours went by. The doctors and nurses were run off their feet. Whenever I had an interaction with them, I could feel their warmth and concern - they treated me like a human being. But the waits made me feel invisible. /3
The Premier and his government have once again been back-tracked on their response to the surge in Covid-19 cases in Saskatchewan. Only a few days ago Premier Moe stated no new measures were being contemplated. #COVID19SK#skpoli
Last Friday the Health Minister announced masks would be mandatory in certain communities but not others. Today the mask order is now mandatory for all of Saskatchewan. The inconsistency and lack of clarity is constant and disruptive.
The premier also acknowledged today that previous measures have been confusing. Unfortunately, that continues to be the case. Families, communities and businesses need certainty in order to follow the rules and keep people safe. Constantly shifting the goal posts is not helpful.
