‘Deceitful and damaging:’ NDP leader kicked out of question period
NDP interim leader Trent Wotherspoon called the provincial budget callous and mean-spirited, but it’s when he called it deceitful that he was told he crossed the line.
On Thursday, Wotherspoon and Premier Brad Wall sparred over the budget, the debt and the axing of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC).
“This is a premier who didn’t say boo about this in the run-up to the election, through the election, or beyond,’ said Wotherspoon during question period.
“He looked in the whites of the eyes of Saskatchewan people. Hand over heart, he pledged that he wouldn’t sell off the Crown corporations. This is deceitful and it’s damaging, Mr. Speaker. It’s clear that the premier’s word just isn’t worth much.”
