DENARE BEACH RESIDENTS CALL FOR TIM MCLEOD’S RESIGNATION

REGINA – Today, frustrated Denare Beach residents who lost their homes called for Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod to resign after he blocked a motion calling for an independent public inquiry into the province’s failed wildfire response and refused to apologize for his handling of the fires.

“There’s been one giant smokescreen ... no pun intended, because that’s too soon for me even. And it’s the Minister in charge of our public safety. He’s not doing his job,” said Dustin Trumbley, a resident of Denare beach who lost his home in the fire.

“[Premier Moe], I am urging you to ask Tim McLeod to step down as the Minister of our Public Safety because I do believe he is not able to do his job or do his job correctly.”

Rhonda Werbicki, who also lost her home to the fire, said she was deeply disappointed the Sask. Party refused to hold a public inquiry.

“If they really did everything they could to help us in the North, why wouldn’t you want a public inquiry? Why wouldn’t you want to prove us wrong?” asked Werbicki.

“Why wouldn’t you want to say we did everything that we could? Like why wouldn’t you want that out there? So now even more, to me, I’m thinking, what happened, what did you do? So now I’m even more convinced that something, that something really went wrong.”

Tasha Young agreed. She lost her home and business in the fire and was let down by the Sask. Party’s response to the emergency motion.

“We came here yesterday and we all had a meeting with Scott Moe and I thought it actually went pretty good. But after today, with them just turning down the public inquiry, kind of makes us wonder. So wouldn't you want to give us these answers that everybody’s asking for?”
