Regina NDP MLA Meara Conway wants the Saskatchewan Party government to scrap a proposed change to The Residential Tenancies Act that she said would make it easier to evict tenants.
The opposition party’s critic for social services said this is the opposite of what the government should be looking to do during a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which she said should be to protect and keep people at home to limit transmission.
Conway mentioned how she learned through conversations with organizations and community members that eviction numbers are steady in the province during the pandemic. She said it’s news that concerns her.
SASKATOON Organizations like Saskatchewan s nascent Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) need to be seen as objective, unbiased and independent, according to a policing expert. It its 2021 budget, the Government of Saskatchewan announced it would provide $287,000 to the Public Complaints Commission to develop the team, making Saskatchewan’s police oversight consistent with that of other Canadian jurisdictions.” Some people might question why we need this type of oversight, since they feel comfortable with the police that we currently have. And this is great. But we need everyone to feel this way, said Scott Thompson, a University of Saskatchewan associate professor who teaches surveillance, criminology and penology.

The Government of Saskatchewan says they are happy to see the Theodore School dispute finally come to an end.
The Supreme Court of Canada announced Thursday morning that they would not be hearing the Good Spirit School Division’s appeal, after the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal overturned a decision that would have limited public funding for non-Catholic students attending Catholic schools.
Provincial Attorney General Gord Wyant says he’s happy to see the Supreme Court honour the province’s decision.
“What this does is really just clarify that the status quo that’s been operating in this province for very, many years, in terms of parents’ rights to send their children to publicly funded schools, whether Catholic or public,” said Wyant. “In this province, that was sustained by the Court of Appeal, and so we’re very happy about that.”
