Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says a change-room ban policy he previously touted as his first order of business if re-elected is no longer a top priority.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says a change-room ban policy he previously touted as his first order of business if re-elected is no longer a top priority.
Moe says he misspoke when he said on the campaign trail before the Oct. 28 election that his first job would be to ban “biological boys” from using school changing rooms with "biological girls."
“When I was asked a question and provided a response on the change-room policy here in the province, I indicated that there was going to be the first order of business,” he said, recalling the campaign stop.
“I misspoke. It's not.”
Moe has said his first priorities as premier are to meet with the lieutenant governor, form a cabinet and set a legislative agenda.
He went on to claim that he sometimes speaks before thinking and that he needs to take a breath.
"I'm a decisive personality, and I might say some things without maybe giving them the proper thought," he explained. "When I said this would be the first order of business, it’d be one of those times."
