Merriman MIA while health system caves

The Official Opposition is calling for a special investigation by the Provincial Auditor

REGINA - Today, Official Opposition Critic for Social Services and Housing Meara Conway held a media availability to raise the alarm on the Ministry of Social Services’ Linkin information management system and called on the provincial auditor to conduct a special investigation into the egregious project cost overruns.

I am absolutely appalled by the news coming out of the Battlefords a couple of nights ago and heartbroken that a six-year-old bore witness to this unprovoked attack. Sadly, attacks such as this one occur all too often in Saskatchewan. I stand with the FSIN in urging a swift investigation and appropriate charges. I also implore the people of Saskatchewan to write their MLAs and demand immediate action on the disproportionate levels of violence facing Indigenous people. Racism has no place in our province.
