On the last day of the legislative session, reporters asked Premier Scott Moe if the departure of so many MLAs bodes well for the government going into an election.
Moe chalked it up to “party renewal.”
“There’s a lot of historical context and experience that is walking out the door but this is part of the renewal process for every party, including our party,” he told reporters on May 16.
“When I was elected in 2016, there were [17] new MLAs. The renewal process does continue to occur, but when you have two or three MLAs that had been elected in 1999 and 2003, you just can’t expect them to serve forever.”
Of the 48 Sask. Party members elected in the 2020 election, 21 (or 43 per cent) will not be representing the party this coming fall.
