The report, written by MNP, also shows the SPSA leadership went to great lengths to coverup its failures.
“I can’t help but wonder how many homes could have been saved, how many families in the North wouldn’t have had their lives turned upside down had Scott Moe and Tim McLeod been doing their jobs,” said Hugh Gordon, Associate Community Safety Shadow Minister.
“We know full well there are incredible and hardworking people at the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency that are there because they want to help — the failures here lie with management, the Minister who somehow continues to skate around accountability and Premier Scott Moe himself.
“This is clearly a Sask. Party government that, after 20 years, doesn’t believe its accountable to the very people that elected it — if they ever did.”
Last year’s fires saw all of East Trout Lake and two-thirds of Denare Beach burned to the ground. Homes were also damaged in Sucker River and Hall Lake. The MNP report paints a picture of a leadership team that was either too incompetent to see the warning signs or negligent in their duties to prepare accordingly. Here are some of the egregious findings:
“A failure to do their jobs and a coverup,” Gordon said. “This what the Sask. Party is good at, covering its tracks and making it look like they’re leading the province when they’re doing anything but.”
Carla Beck's team is demanding three immediate actions:
“Someone could have been killed during this mess,” Gordon said. “The bottom line is this — Carla Beck’s team won’t let up. We will keep demanding accountability for this disaster and a plan to ensure something like this never happens again. It’s time for change.”
