Saskatchewan Justice Minister Gord Wyant says the province is going to get more aggressive when it comes to people who don’t pay their COVID-19 tickets.
During Question Period on Monday, Wyant was asked by the NDP about putting a mandatory minimum fine in place for those who violate public health orders. Wyant said he didn’t believe initiating something like that would deter those individuals who are determined to break the rules.
However, Wyant did say other options are on the table for those who are ticketed for violating public health orders and who won’t pay up.
