The Saskatchewan NDP is still working to introduce increased minimum fines for organizers of COVID-19 rallies which defy Saskatchewan’s public health order.
Minister of Justice and Attorney General Gord Wyant said on Monday there is no need to establish a mandatory minimum penalty with respect to these infractions. He believes it will not deter individuals from not following health measures, but that people will face consequences for their actions based on the current fining system.
“Public Prosecutions will aggressively prosecute those tickets and we’re confident we will be able to enforce those penalties,” discussed Wyant. “I don’t think putting in a mandatory minimum in place is going to at all deter these individuals from continuing to do what they have been doing.”
