Sask. NDP call for pardons for pot possession

Mar 28, 2018 | 10:02 AM

The Saskatchewan NDP is sending a letter to the federal government asking the Liberals to look into pardoning people with criminal records for marijuana possession.

Opposition critic Nicole Sauer said she hopes the Sask. Party will join them in their lobbying efforts.

Sauer is hoping for the pardon as she said there’s no reason to burden people with criminal records for something about to become legalized.

Saskatchewan Justice Minister Don Morgan said people can already ask for a pardon if they so choose.
