REGINA – The Conflict of Interest Commissioner is seeking to clarify guidelines around the use of social media for members of the Legislative Assembly.
“Many of the procedures governing the Legislative Assembly and its members were developed long before social media was invented,” said Meara Conway, Shadow Minister of Ethics and Democracy. “Social media is a real gray area, and we think members of the Legislature should have policies fit for the twenty-first century.”
The social media feeds of members from all parties, ranging from backbenchers to the Premier, feature a variety of content. This includes family moments, personal interests, small business and other professional activities, as well as legislative and constituency-related updates.
Regina South Albert MLA Aleana Young is working with the Commissioner and hopes to bring clarity to these guidelines. Her social media activity is being reviewed for containing a blend of legislative content and small business achievements, such as celebrating her small business’ five-year milestone or her holiday cheese boards.
“Technology is changing fast, and I’m sure my work with the Commissioner will be helpful for all members of the Legislature,” said Young. “It’s a privilege to represent our constituents and we’re always looking at ways we can best use these new tools to communicate directly with them.”
