Moe says he believes Harrison didn't remember bringing gun into legislative building
CBC
Premier Scott Moe is defending a cabinet minister who said he didn't bring a long gun into the Saskatchewan legislature, only to reverse himself days later and admit the story was true.
Moe says he believes Jeremy Harrison was being truthful both times.
The premier says Harrison didn't initially remember bringing the gun into the legislature, but admitted to it when his memory came back.
The matter came to light on May 16 when Speaker Randy Weekes accused Harrison of intimidating behaviour and said the minister once brought a weapon into the building.
Moe publicly defended Harrison at the time, labelling the allegations "unequivocally false."
Harrison later admitted to bringing the gun into the building and said he was stepping down as government House leader. He retains his job in Moe's cabinet as the minister for trade and immigration issues.
