The cost of the investigation into former Saskatchewan Party MLA, Serge Leclerc, has now been identified at $150,000.
Rather than the taxpayers of the province paying this amount, the bill should be sent to Brad Wall and his political party for reimbursement of the provincial treasury.
It was the Saskatchewan Party who authorized and endorsed Serge Leclerc as their candidate.
Premier Brad Wall signed the nomination papers and told the Chief Electoral Officer that Serge Leclerc was a duly certified representative of the Saskatchewan Party.
So why are we taxpayers paying for Brad Wall's error in judgement?
The Saskatchewan Party should send a $150,000 cheque to the Province as soon as possible.
The suggestion that the Sask Party should pay for the LeClerc investigation is absurd. You may recall that the NDP was adamant this investigation should take place.
ReplyDeleteJust when i begin to think you guys are beginning to get your act together, you come up with some nonsense like this.
The NDP demanded that there be an investigation because you people were going to sweep it under the carpet. The fact that Leclerc was using his taxpayer funded constituency office to sell his book and find speaking engagements would not have been addressed. You guys brought him to the party so you bear responsibility for his bad behavior.
