Sask. NDP search for answers on MLA Jeremy Harrison gun allegations
Global News
The Saskatchewan NDP are seeking an investigation into whether or not Government House Leader Jeremy Harrison once brought a gun to the legislature.
After allegations against Saskatchewan MLA Jeremy Harrison were raised by the legislative speaker last week, the NDP are calling for answers.
Harrison has not spoken about the allegations since they first came to light a week ago.
“There are so many unanswered questions about what the Speaker shared on the last day of the sitting,” Conway said. “Jeremy Harrison could clear the air by facing the media, but instead he’s hiding from reporters. We’re trying to get the information Saskatchewan people are looking for.”
On Thursday, Opposition ethics and democracy critic Meara Conway wrote to the sergeant-at-arms, chief firearms officer and the Legislative District Security Unit, seeking answers to the unanswered questions surrounding the Speaker’s allegation that Harrison brought a gun into the Legislative Building.
“A lot of people are rightly concerned that Premier Moe’s most trusted officials may have been more focused on bullying the Speaker than fixing the very serious problems keeping Saskatchewan people up at night,” Conway went on to say.
“It’s one scandal after another. People are sick and tired of the Sask. Party soap opera.”
Last week, Speaker Randy Weekes made several allegations about the behaviour of a number of Sask. Party MLAs, primarily focusing on Harrison.
In addition to allegations of bullying and harassment, MLA Harrison was said to have brought a long gun and sought permission to carry a handgun in the Legislative Assembly:
